Abstract: In this paper, a distributed no-wait permutation flowshop scheduling problem with a preventive maintenance operation (PM/DNWPFSP) is investigated. A mixed-integer linear programming model for the PM/DNWPFSP is established. The problem characteristics and preventive maintenance characteristics of the PM/DNWPFSP are analyzed, and an accelerated calculation method of the completion time is proposed. A hybrid artificial bee colony (HABC) algorithm with an iterated local search mechanism for neighborhood search is proposed. To improve the quality of the solution, the shift, the swap and the hybrid operators are conducted in the critical factory. A local search operator based on the shift, the swap and the hybrid operators is proposed to jump out of local optima. A large number of experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed HABC. The experimental results show that the proposed HABC algorithm has many promising advantages in solving the PM/DNWPFSP.
