A Bee Colony Optimization Approach for Mixed Blocking Constraints Flow Shop Scheduling Problems

The flow shop scheduling problems with mixed blocking constraints with minimization of makespan are investigated. The Taguchi orthogonal arrays and path relinking along with some efficient local search methods are used to develop a metaheuristic algorithm based on bee colony optimization. In order t...
