Description
Summary:This article studies multi-objective no-wait flowshop scheduling problems to minimise both makespan and total tardiness. This problem is commonly denoted by . This article mathematically formulates the problem using two effective multi-objective mixed integer linear programming models. The multi-objective mathematical models are then solved by a multiple criteria decision making approach, called Fuzzy programming method. Moreover, the article proposes a novel multi-objective iterated local search algorithm incorporating three types of local search engine: greedy, moderate and curtailed fashions. The algorithm is carefully evaluated for its performance against two available algorithms by means of multi-objective performance measures and statistical tools. The results show that the proposed solution method outperforms the others.
