In this algorithm, the bottleneck is first scheduled optimally while the non-bottleneck machines are subordinated around the solutions of the bottleneck schedule by some effective dispatching rules. Computational results indicate that the MB heuristic can achieve a better tradeoff between solution quality and computational time compared to SB procedure for medium-size problems. Furthermore, it can obtain a good solution in a short time for large-scale jobshop scheduling problems.展开更多

This local search method is based on an improved shifting bottleneck procedure and Tabu Search technique. This new local search is different from the previous Tabu Search (TS) proposed by other authors, which is because the improved shifting bottleneck procedure is a new technology that is provided by us for the problem, and two remarkable strategies--intensification and diversification of TS are modified. To demonstrate the performance, our algorithm has been tested on many common problem instances (benchmarks) with various sizes and levels of hardness and compared with other algorithms, especially the latest TS in the literatures. Computational experiments show that this algorithm is effective and efficient.展开更多
