Abstract

In this paper, a novel hybrid multi-objective particle swarm algorithm Mopsocd_BL is proposed to solve the flow shop scheduling problem with two objectives of minimizing makespan and the total idle time of machines. This algorithm bases on Baldwinian learning mechanism to improve local search ability of particle swarm optimization, and uses the Pareto dominance and crowding distance to update the solutions. Experimental results show that this algorithm can maintain the diversity of solutions and find more uniformly distributed Pareto optimal solutions.
