Abstract

Flexible job-shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is an extended job-shop scheduling problem. FJSP allows an operation to be processed by several different machines. FJSP with overlapping in operations means that each operation is divided into several sublots. Sublots are processed and transferred separately without waiting for the entire operation to be processed. In previous research, a mathematical model was developed and a genetic algorithm proposed to solve this problem. In this study, we try to improve the procedure of previous research to achieve better results. The proposed improvements were tested on some benchmark problems and compared with the results obtained by previous research.
