Abstract

This paper focuses on minimizing the makespan for a reentrant hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with time window constraints (RHFSTW), which is often found in manufacturing systems producing the slider part of hard-disk drive products, in which production needs to be monitored to ensure high quality. For this reason, production time control is required from the starting-time-window stage to the ending-time-window stage. Because of the complexity of the RHFSTW problem, in this paper, genetic algorithm hybridized ant colony optimization (GACO) is proposed to be used as a support tool for scheduling. The results show that the GACO can solve problems optimally with reasonable computational effort.
