A systematic literature review on energy-efficient hybrid flow shop scheduling

Abstract

AbstractScheduling problems should not only focus on minimizing completion time, but other performances, such as minimizing energy consumption, are urgent to investigate. Many companies and researchers are competing to develop various methods to solve this problem. One problem that has received much attention lately is the energy-efficient Hybrid Flow Shop Scheduling Problem (HFSP). The HFSP problem is also popularly called the flexible flow shop problem. This research provides a comprehensive review of articles that discuss energy-efficient HFSP scheduling to determine the trend of energy-efficient HFSP research and research gaps for future research interests. This review uses a systematic literature review method. The total articles reviewed in this study are 90 articles from January 2008 - December 2022. The articles are classified by year, country, journal/conferences, publisher, objective function, and method. The analysis results show that the trend of energy-efficient HFSP research continues to increase. In addition, the multi-objective problem is the dominating problem in energy-efficient HFSP scheduling problems. The study also presents a gap research analysis and a review of future research directions.
