Resumo


Objective: The present study aims to propose an efficient hybrid evolutionary metaheuristic based on a genetic algorithm with local search structures, which allows for high-performance treatment of Job-Shop Scheduling (JSS) problems with earliness and tardiness penalties (JSS-ETC).
Methodology/Approach: The research is characterized as experimental and was carried out by developing the proposed hybrid heuristic to solve the mathematical model problem, JSS-ETC, aiming to achieve efficient results.
Originality/Relevance: A new hybridization approach was proposed for solving JSS-ETC problems based on two heuristics that adopt mechanisms of different natures, demonstrating a vast potential and relevance in the solvability of complex problems, especially scheduling.
Main results: The results showed that the proposed hybrid algorithm (in its two variations) achieved high performance, mathematically and computationally, compared to consolidated methods in the literature. Superior results were achieved in approximately 30% of the tested instances.
Theoretical/methodological contributions: The present study contributes to a better understanding of the problem addressed and the methods used to solve it, presenting a comprehensive literature review on the problem. Additionally, the proposed hybrid algorithm demonstrated high potential for solving and can be considered for other optimization problems.
Contributions to management: The developed algorithm allows for better production planning and control and efficient management of organizational resources.
