Abstract: For longevity in the market, manufacturers must strike a balance between monetary benefits and production capability. This article investigates the distributed hybrid flowshop scheduling problem with deteriorating jobs, with the objective of minimizing the makespan and mean tardiness. A mathematical model for the distributed hybrid flowshop scheduling problem is constructed. To minimize the goals, a multi-objective discrete differential evolution (MODDE) method is put forward. For achieving optimization goals, a two-strategy initialization operation is put forth. A local search strategy tailored to the problem is used to improve the algorithm's exploratory power. The proposed MODDE method is compared with currently well-known multi-objective optimization techniques, demonstrating considerable performance gains. The outcome shows that the above methodology is effective for tackling the distributed hybrid flowshop scheduling problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
