Abstract

In this paper, to make flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP)
more realistic, an operational factor is considered in its model. This
factor, which is called optimizing total consumed electric power per
month, is known as the most important factor in calculation of the
electric cost of the industries. Considering this factor, specifically
after subsides elimination of the country, has became more important.
In addition to this objective, two other common objectives, called
complementation time and critical work load of machines, are
considered. To solve the multi-objective model, two algorithms,
called multi-objective biogeography-based optimization algorithm
(MOBBO) and multi-objective harmony search algorithm (MOHS),
are developed and introduced to scheduling area for the first time.
Finally, by developing some famous libraries of the problem,
performance of the algorithms is compared statistically
