A Memetic Algorithm for Hybrid Flowshops with Flexible Machine Availability Constraints
This paper considers the problem of scheduling hybrid flowshops with machine availability constraints (MAC) to minimize makespan. The paper deals with a specific case of MAC caused by preventive maintenance (PM) operations. Contrary to previous papers considering fixed or/and conservative policies,...
