Hybrid optimization for parallel-machine production scheduling
Daniel Pacheco examines an integrated production-planning problem in which jobs must be assigned and sequenced across multiple machines while accounting for sequence-dependent setup requirements. The book compares hybrid solution methods built around a two-level decomposition: genetic algorithms handle machine assignment and job order, while branch-and-cut optimization determines batch sizes and inventory decisions. It also presents a performance comparison that identifies a Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) variant as the strongest of the methods considered, balancing solution quality with computation time. With its focus on modeling and algorithmic solution design, the book centers on the technical links between scheduling, lot sizing, and inventory planning.
