  • Abstract
    This paper studies a kind of hybrid flow shop problem with transportation delays (HFSTD) between consecutive production stages. A scatter search (SS) algorithm is proposed to solve the scheduling problem. A two-point order combination operator is designed for the SS. The authors randomly generate 12 instances to test the performance of the proposed algorithm. Experimental results show that the SS algorithm is efficient and effective for solving the HFSTD scheduling problem.
