Title
Improving local search for the fuzzy job shop using a lower bound
Abstract
We consider the fuzzy job shop problem, where uncertain durations are modelled as fuzzy numbers and the objective is to minimise the expected makespan. A recent local search method from the literature has proved to be very competitive when used in combination with a genetic algorithm, but at the expense of a high computational cost. Our aim is to improve its efficiency with an alternative rescheduling algorithm and a makespan lower bound to prune non-improving neighbours. The experimental results illustrate the success of our proposals in reducing both CPU time and number of evaluated neighbours.
