This article addresses simultaneous scheduling of machines and tools to generate best optimal sequences that minimize makespan in a multi-machine Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). Performance of FMS is expected to improve by effective utilization of its resources, by proper integration and synchronization of their scheduling. Three heuristics, Symbiotic Organisms Search (SOS) algorithm, Crow search algorithm(CSA) and Flower pollination algorithm(FPA), have been proposed for solving joint machine and tool scheduling problems neglecting tool transfer times between machines with makespan as objective. The proposed heuristics are tested on various problems with makespan as objective and the results are compared with the results of existing methods. The results show that all the proposed heuristics are outperformed the existing methods and among the proposed heuristics FPA is outperformed.Keywords

This paper addresses the problem of simultaneous scheduling of machines and two identical automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in a flexible manufacturing system (FMS). It is a NP–hard problem which is very complex. For solving this problem, a new nature inspired meta-heuristic Flower pollination Algorithm (FPA) is proposed. The problem consists of two interrelated problems, scheduling of machines and scheduling of AGVs. A simultaneous scheduling of these, in order to minimize the makespan will result in an FMS being able to complete all the jobs assigned to it at earliest time possible, thus saving resources. Improvement in performance of FMS can be expected by efficient utilization of its resources, by proper integration and synchronization of their scheduling. The proposed heuristic is tested on problems generated by various researchers and the results are compared with results of existing methods. The results show that the proposed heuristic is outperformed the existing methods.Keywords
