  • In this paper, first, the problem of dynamic two-machine flow shop scheduling with the objective of minimizing the number of tardy jobs is investigated. Second, a hybrid algorithm based on genetic algorithm and parallel simulated annealing algorithm is presented. In order to solve large scale instances of the problem and to generate the initial population for the hybrid approach, a heuristic algorithm is also presented. To evaluate the efficiency of the proposed algorithms, they are compared with an optimal branch-and-bound algorithm which has been already developed in the literature. Computational experiments demonstrate that the proposed hybrid algorithm can solve the entire small-sized problems and more than 95% of medium-sized problems optimally.
