TLDR
A new chromosome representation and a design of related parameters to solve the FJSP efficiently are posed and empirical experiments show that the pro- posed chromosome representation obtains better results than the others in both quality and processing time required.
Abstract
As the Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (or FJSP) is strongly NP-hard, using an evolutionary approach to find near-optimal solutions re- quires effective chromosome representations as well as carefully designed pa- rameters for crossover and mutation to achieve efficient search This paper pro- poses a new chromosome representation and a design of related parameters to solve the FJSP efficiently The results of applying the new chromosome repre- sentation for solving the 10 jobs x 10 machines FJSP are compared with three other chromosome representations Empirical experiments show that the pro- posed chromosome representation obtains better results than the others in both quality and processing time required

Evolving dispatching rules using genetic programming for solving multi-objective flexible job-shop problems

TL;DR: Experimental results show that composite dispatching rules generated by the genetic programming framework outperforms the single dispatches rules and composite dispatch rules selected from literature over five large validation sets with respect to minimum makespan, mean tardiness, and mean flow time objectives.
