Application of Simulated Annealing in Flexible manufacturing systems scheduling

Various dispatching rules name are: first come first serve or FCFS, last come first serve or LCFS, Shortest processing time or SPT, Longest Processing time or LPT, and so on, such have been employed to generate the initial population in simulated annealing or SA algorithm. The objective of the simulated annealing in scheduling is to minimize the make span value.
