Description
Summary:Increasing global energy consumption, large variations in its cost and the environmental degradation effects are good reasons for the manufacturing industries to become greener. Green shop floor scheduling is increasingly becoming a vital factor in the sustainable manufacturing. In this paper, a green permutation flowshop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times is studied. Two objectives are considered including minimisation of makespan as a measure of service level and minimisation of total energy consumption as a measure of environmental sustainability. We extend a bi-objective mixed-integer linear programming model to formulate the stated problem. We develop a constructive heuristic algorithm to solve the model. The constructive heuristic algorithm includes iterated greedy (CHIG) and local search (CHLS) algorithms. We develop an efficient energy-saving method which decreases energy consumption, on average, by about 15%. To evaluate the effectiveness of the constructive heuristic algorithm, we compare it with the famous augmented ϵ-constraint method using various small-sized and large-sized problems. The results confirm that the heuristic algorithm obtains high-quality non-dominated solutions in comparison with the augmented ϵ-constraint method. Also, they show that the CHIG outperforms the CHLS. Finally, this paper follows a case-study, with in-depth analysis of the model and the constructive heuristic algorithm.
