Abstract EN
This research considers an unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem with energy consumption and total tardiness.
This problem is compounded by two challenges: differences of unrelated parallel machines energy consumption and interaction between job assignments and machine state operations.
To begin with, we establish a mathematical model for this problem.
Then an ant optimization algorithm based on ATC heuristic rule (ATC-ACO) is presented.
Furthermore, optimal parameters of proposed algorithm are defined via Taguchi methods for generating test data.
Finally, comparative experiments indicate the proposed ATC-ACO algorithm has better performance on minimizing energy consumption as well as total tardiness and the modified ATC heuristic rule is more effectively on reducing energy consumption.
