Abstract

Globalization has opened up huge opportunities for the plant and industrial investors. The problem of single plant is now more generalised, namely, multi factory problem. This paper deals with the problem of Distributed Job shop Scheduling in multi-factories. The problem solving process consists of finding an effective way to assign jobs to factories then, to generate a good operation schedule. To make this, an Ant System algorithm is implemented. Several numerical experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of the Ant System algorithm applied to the Distributed Job shop Scheduling, and the results show the shortcoming of the standard Ant System algorithm compared to developed algorithms in the literature.
