An Improved Discrete Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for Flexible Flowshop Scheduling with Step Deteriorating Jobs and Sequence-Dependent Setup Times

This paper studies a flexible flowshop scheduling problem with step-deteriorating jobs and sequence-dependent setup times (FFSP-SDJ&SDST) where there are multiple unrelated parallel machines at each stage. The actual processing time of each job is modeled as a step function of its starting time....
