A Variable Block Insertion Heuristic for Solving Permutation Flow Shop Scheduling Problem with Makespan Criterion
In this paper, we propose a variable block insertion heuristic (VBIH) algorithm to solve the permutation flow shop scheduling problem (PFSP).The VBIH algorithm removes a block of jobs from the current solution.It applies an insertion local search to the partial solution.Then, it inserts the block into all possible positions in the partial solution
