Abstract

We consider the job shop scheduling problem with fuzzy sets modelling uncertain durations and flexible due dates. With the goal of maximising due-date satisfaction, we propose a memetic algorithm that combines intensification and diversification by integrating local search in a genetic algorithm. Experimental results illustrate the synergy between both components of the algorithm as well as its potential to provide good solutions.
