Solving the multi-objective flowline manufacturing cell scheduling problem by hybrid harmony search

作者：

Highlights：

• A hybrid harmony search (HHS) algorithm is proposed for the FMCSP with SDFSTs.

• For the first time, Pareto-based approach is used to solve the FMCSP with SDFSTs.

• One-point crossover operator is applied for retaining solutions diversification.

• Iterative local search method is discussed and used for solutions intensification.

• Compared with other algorithms, HHS shows good potential for the FMCSP with SDFSTs.
