A Hybrid Metaheuristic for the Unrelated Parallel Machine Scheduling Problem

The unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem aims to assign jobs to independent machines with sequence-dependent setup times so that the makespan is minimized. When many practical considerations are introduced, solving the resulting problem is challenging, especially when problems of realistic...
