Improved Whale Algorithm for Solving the Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem

In this paper, a novel improved whale optimization algorithm (IWOA), based on the integrated approach, is presented for solving the flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) with the objective of minimizing makespan. First of all, to make the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) adaptive to the FJSP...
