Abstract

Scheduling is essential in manufacturing to maintain machinery and increase revenue. Machines that are routinely maintained will boost production, whereas scheduling based on total weighted completion time (TWCT) can improve the performance of production equipment. The Lovebird Algorithm (LBA), Constructive Heuristics (CH), and combination of LBA-CH are used in this study to schedule a single machine with equal processing times. LBA, a population-based algorithm, represents job parts as birds for jobs that can be preempted. The experiments, which used ten jobs divided into dozens of job parts, show that LBA-CH can effectively reduce TWCT compared to CH by 18.16%.
