The methodology is metaheuristic, one inspired  by how nature has evolved a multitude of coexisting species of living  beings on earth. \u003cbr\u003e  Multiobjective flowshops, job shops and open shops are each highly  relevant models in manufacturing, classroom scheduling or automotive  assembly, yet for want of sound methods they have remained almost  untouched to date. This text shows how methods such as \u003cem\u003eElitist\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eNondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm\u003c\/em\u003e (ENGA) can find a bevy of  Pareto optimal solutions for them. Also it accents the value of  hybridizing Gas with both solution-generating and solution-improvement  methods. It envisions fundamental research into such methods, greatly  strengthening the growing reach of metaheuristic methods. \u003cbr\u003e  This book is therefore intended for students of industrial  engineering, operations research, operations management and computer  science, as well as practitioners. It may also assist in the  development of efficient shop management software tools for schedulers  and production planners who face multiple planning and operating  objectives as a matter of course.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792385615\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5237-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 358\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265663881356,"sku":"9780792385615","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792385615.jpg?v=1770788297","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792385615","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
