dc.description.abstract | The distributed no-wait flowshop scheduling problem (DNWFSP) is an extension of the permutation flowshop scheduling problem with multiple factories and no-wait constraints. The DNWFSP consists of two decisions, namely, assigning jobs to the factories and sequencing the set of jobs assigned to the same factory. The no -wait constraints require that jobs have to be processed without any interruption between operations. Since the introduction of the DNWFSP, a number of metaheuristic approaches were developed to solve it. However, there exists no exact solution approach for the DNWFSP to the best of our knowledge. In this regard, a branch -and-cut (BC) algorithm is proposed to solve the DNWFSP. The proposed BC is integrated with a heuristic algorithm to obtain good upper bounds. Moreover, a set of symmetry breaking constraints are employed in the models to strengthen the formulations. The performance of BC is evaluated on a set of benchmark problem instances available in the related literature. The proposed BC is numerically compared with mixed-integer programming formulations of the DNWFSP which are solved by a commercial solver. The results obtained from the computational experiments reveal the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The proposed BC is able to solve all small-size instances, as well as, 206 out of 660 large-size instances to optimality. Besides, it is worth to mention that the average percentage gap for the large-size instances with two factories is only 0.43%. | en_US |
