A METAHEURISTIC ALGORITHM TO TRANSPORTER SCHEDULING FOR ASSEMBLY BLOCKS IN A SHIPYARD CONSIDERING PRECEDENCE AND COOPERATING CONSTRAINTS

A Metaheuristic Algorithm to Transporter Scheduling for Assembly Blocks in a Shipyard considering Precedence and Cooperating Constraints

Special vehicles named flat transporters are used to deliver heavy ship assembly blocks in shipyards.Because each movement of assembly blocks among workshops needs transporters and the transportations are time-consuming, the scheduling of transporters is important for maintaining the overall production here schedule of assembly blocks.This paper co
