To develop and evaluate a Hybrid Honey Badger Algorithm integrated with the NEH heuristic to simultaneously minimize makespan and total energy cost in hybrid flow shop scheduling problems.
Incorporated the constructive NEH heuristic into the metaheuristic Honey Badger Algorithm to create a hybrid optimization framework.
Evaluated performance using an empirical industrial scheduling dataset and 54 randomly generated benchmark problem instances.
Compared solution quality using average percentage deviation against FIFO dispatching, the standalone NEH heuristic, standard Honey Badger Algorithm, Simulated Annealing, Genetic Algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization, and Ant Colony Optimization.
Application to the industrial scheduling case yielded an 8% reduction in total energy cost relative to the existing corporate baseline schedule.
Testing across 54 benchmark instances resulted in an average percentage deviation of zero for the hybrid algorithm, outperforming all evaluated metaheuristics and dispatching rules.
