Minimizing Total Weighted Tardiness in a Generalized Job Shop

We consider a generalization of the classical job shop scheduling problem with release times, positive end–start time lags, and a general precedence graph. As objective we consider the total weighted tardiness. We use a tabu search algorithm to search for the order in which the operations are processed on each machine. Given a sequence of operations on each machine, we determine optimal starting times by solving a maximum cost flow problem. This solution is used to determine the neighborhood for our tabu search algorithm. All sequences in our neighborhood are obtained by swapping certain pairs of adjacent operations. We show that only swaps that possess a certain property can improve the current solution; if no such swap is available in the neighborhood, then the current solution is globally optimal. In the computational results we compare our method with other procedures proposed in literature. Our tabu search algorithm seems to be effective both with respect to time and solution quality. The research was carried out at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven and the Universiteit Utrecht with support of Baan and the Future and Emerging Technologies programme of the EU under contract number IST-1999-14186 (ALCOM-FT).     

A tabu search approach for the minimum sum-of-squares clustering problem

In this paper, a tabu search based clustering approach called TS-Clustering is proposed to deal with the minimum sum-of-squares clustering problem. In the TS-Clustering algorithm, five improvement operations and three neighborhood modes are given. The improvement operation is used to enhance the clustering solution obtained in the process of iterations, and the neighborhood mode is used to create the neighborhood of tabu search. The superiority of the proposed method over some known clustering techniques is demonstrated for artificial and real life data sets.     

A tabu search based hybrid evolutionary algorithm for the max-cut problem

This paper presents a tabu search based hybrid evolutionary algorithm (TSHEA) for solving the max-cut problem. The proposed algorithm integrates a distance-and-quality based solution combination operator and a tabu search procedure based on neighborhood combination of one-flip and constrained exchange moves. Comparisons with leading reference algorithms from the literature disclose that the proposed algorithm discovers new best solutions for 15 out of 91 instances, while matching the best known solutions on all but 4 instances. Analysis indicates that the neighborhood combination and the solution combination operator play key roles to the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Using tabu search with ranking candidate list to solve production planning problems with setups

This study considers production planning problems involving multiple products, multiple resources, multiple periods, setup times, and setup costs. It can be formulated as a mixed integer program (MIP). Solving a realistic MIP production planning problem is NP-hard; therefore, we use tabu search methods to solve such a difficult problem. Furthermore, we improve tabu search by a new candidate list strategy, which sorts the neighbor solutions using post-optimization information provided by the final tableau of the linear programming simplex algorithm. A neighbor solution with higher priority in the ranking sequence has a higher probability of being the best neighbor solution of a current solution. According to our experiments, the proposed candidate list strategy tabu search produces a good solution faster than the traditional simple tabu search. This study also suggests that if the evaluation of the entire neighborhood space in a tabu search algorithm takes too much computation and if an efficient and effective heuristic to rank the neighbor solutions can be developed, the speed of tabu search algorithm could be significantly increased by using the proposed candidate list strategy.     

Artificial intelligence search methods for multi-machine two-stage scheduling with due date penalty,inventory, and machining costs

This paper evaluates artificial intelligence search methods for multi-machine two-stage scheduling problems with due date penalty, inventory, and machining costs. We compare four search methods: tabu search, simulated annealing, genetic algorithm, and neighborhood search. Computational results show that the tabu search performs best in terms of solution quality. The tabu search also requires much less computational time than the genetic algorithm and simulated annealing. As expected, the neighborhood search needs the smallest computational time, but gives the worst solution quality. To further improve the solution quality and computational time, this paper proposes a two-phase tabu search. The two-phase tabu search sequentially addresses two aspects of sequencing for the same problem, order- and component-based sequencing. The order-based tabu search identifies a sequence for customers’ orders. Starting from the sequence identified for customers’ orders, the component-based tabu search fine-tunes the sequence for components produced at the fabrication stage. The results show that the two-phase tabu search is better in solution quality and computational time than the one-phase tabu search. The difference in solution quality is more pronounced at the early stage of the search.Scope and purposeMost manufacturing firms have some form of separate fabrication and assembly stages. Raw materials are transformed into components at the fabrication stage and the components are then assembled into finished products at the assembly stage. The components and assembly items are typically routed in batch quantities through several machines/work centers in a predetermined order before the finished products are delivered to customers.In this study, we model fabrication and assembly work centers as multi-machine two-stage manufacturing systems where a given machine is used to assemble/produce at least one component/product. The scheduling problem considered in this study involves a scheduling decision that achieves three objectives concurrently: (1) meeting customers’ due dates, (2) minimizing inventory cost, and (3) minimizing machining cost. Each order is an indivisible scheduling element that needs to be delivered to customers on the due date. Each order triggers successive production events from upstream to downstream according to the bill-of-material structure between components and end products.The objective of this paper are three-fold: (1) to present a solution representation for the multi-machine two-stage scheduling problem, (2) to identify the best artificial intelligence search method for this problem based on extensive computational experiments, and (3) to propose a modified tabu search method to further improve the solution quality and computational time.     

A hybrid metaheuristic approach for the capacitated p-median problem

The capacitated p-median problem (CPMP) seeks to obtain the optimal location of p medians considering distances and capacities for the services to be given by each median. This paper presents an efficient hybrid metaheuristic algorithm by combining a proposed cutting-plane neighborhood structure and a tabu search metaheuristic for the CPMP. In the proposed neighborhood structure to move from the current solution to a neighbor solution, an open median is selected and closed. Then, a linear programming (LP) model is generated by relaxing binary constraints and adding new constraints. The generated LP solution is improved using cutting-plane inequalities. The solution of this strong LP is considered as a new neighbor solution. In order to select an open median to be closed, several strategies are proposed. The neighborhood structure is combined with a tabu search algorithm in the proposed approach. The parameters of the proposed hybrid algorithm are tuned using design of experiments approach. The proposed algorithm is tested on several sets of benchmark instances. The statistical analysis shows efficiency and effectiveness of the hybrid algorithm in comparison with the best approach found in the literature.     

A Tabu search approach for designing a non-hierarchical video-on-demand network architecture

In this paper, we present a tabu search to design a non-hierarchical and decentralized video-on-demand (VOD) network architecture. To optimize the VOD network resource, we consider optimization of both video server locations and storage allocation subject to the tradeoffs among installation cost for video servers, program storage cost, and transmission (or communication) cost. In applying a tabu search technique to the problem, neighborhood structure and search strategy are elaborated to improve solution quality and to reduce computation time. We report the results of the computational experiments to demonstrate the performance of the proposed tabu search. A comparative study shows that our algorithm is promising.
