Mathematical Modeling and Discrete Firefly Algorithm to Optimize Scheduling Problem with Release Date, Sequence-Dependent Setup Time, and Periodic Maintenance

An evolutionary discrete firefly algorithm (EDFA) is presented herein to solve a real-world manufacturing system problem of scheduling a set of jobs on a single machine subject to nonzero release date, sequence-dependent setup time, and periodic maintenance with the objective of minimizing the maxim...
