Scheduling on a two-machine permutation flow shop under time-of-use electricity tariffs
研究了在分时电价下，如何安排双机流水车间的作业顺序以最小化总电费，提出了混合整数线性规划模型和三种启发式算法。
We consider a two-machine permutation flow shop scheduling problem to minimise the total electricity cost of processing jobs under time-of-use electricity tariffs. We formulate the problem as a mixed integer linear programming, then we design two heuristic algorithms based on Johnson’s rule and dynamic programming method, respectively. In particular, we show how to find an optimal schedule using dynamic programming when the processing sequence is fixed. In addition, we propose an iterated local search algorithm to solve the problem with problem-tailored procedures and move operators, and test the computational performance of these methods on randomly generated instances.
