A Hybrid IP/GA Approach to the Parallel Production Lines Scheduling Problem

A special parallel production lines scheduling problem is studied in this paper. Considering the time window and technical constraints, a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model is formulated for the problem. A few valid inequalities are deduced and a hybrid mixed integer linear programming/co...
