An efficient Discrete Artificial Bee Colony algorithm for the blocking flow shop problem with total flowtime minimization

作者：

Highlights：

• A high performing DABC algorithm is proposed for the Fm|block|ΣCi.

• An efficient procedure to generate the initial food sources is presented.

• Some strategies for each phase of the algorithm were tested.

• The selection of the best strategies was decided by means a design of experiments.
