Abstract This paper addresses the job shop scheduling problem including time lag constraints. This is an extension of the job shop scheduling problem with many applications in real production environments, where extra (minimum and maximum) delays can be introduced between successive operations of the same job. It belongs to a category of problems known as NP-hard problem due to large solution space. Biogeography-based optimization is an evolutionary algorithm which is inspired by the migration of species between habitats, recently proposed by Simon in 2008 to optimize hard combinatorial optimization problems. We propose a hybrid biogeography-based optimization (HBBO) algorithm for solving the job shop scheduling problem with additional time lag constraints with minimization of total completion time. In the proposed HBBO, the effective greedy constructive heuristic is adapted to generate the initial population of habitat. Moreover, a local search metaheuristic is investigated in the mutation step in order to ameliorate the solution quality and enhance the diversity of the population. To assess the performance of HBBO, a series of experiments on well-known benchmark instances for job shop scheduling problem with time lag constraints is performed.

Manufacturing System is enabled with an excellent knowledge on production plan, proper scheduling of machinery process, employee timetabling and labor costs. Heuristic algorithms are developed to bring optimized results in stipulated time with respect to optimum schedule. This article deals with minimizing the maximum completion time (makespan) based on job scheduling and minimization of labor costs based on employee workload with Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm and Sheep Flock Heredity Model Algorithm. The labor costs minimization and makespan which is to find a schedule that satisfies the organizations rules, employees preferences, due date and customers. The formulation of assigning workload for employees is concerned with assigning number of employees into a given set of shifts over a fixed period of time and week task. The main problem attempts to minimize labor costs based on performance criteria and assigning the loads equally among all employees. Several local search methods and heuristics algorithms has been proposed in many research on Job shop scheduling. The Results are compared with other heuristics in terms of makespan, idle time and Labor costs the Shuffled Frog Leaping algorithm performs result oriented than other Heuristics Algorithm.
