SOLVING SCHEDULING PROBLEM IN A DISTRIBUTED MANUFACTURING SYSTEM USING A DISCRETE FRUIT FLY OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM

Solving Scheduling Problem in a Distributed Manufacturing System Using a Discrete Fruit Fly Optimization Algorithm

This study attempts to optimize the scheduling decision to save production cost (e.g., energy consumption) in a distributed manufacturing environment that comprises multiple distributed factories and where each factory has one flow shop with blocking constraints.A new scheduling optimization model is developed based on a discrete fruit fly optimiza
