Abstract

This study investigated the production and transportation scheduling problem with no on-site storage and job splitting. A mixed-integer programming model was developed to minimize the total cost, which consists of backorder cost, inventory holding cost, and transportation cost, under constraints including sequence-dependent setup times and multiple hard time windows. To improve scalability on large instances, an enhanced heuristic was proposed. The upper level applied a dichotomy search. The lower level used a dual-population genetic algorithm and incorporated local search and simulated annealing to form a hybrid heuristic. Computational experiments demonstrated the practical value of both the model and the algorithm, with the optimized solution reducing the total cost by 8.17%. Further numerical results show that the improved heuristic achieves significantly better solution stability and quality while maintaining low computational complexity. Its Gap consistently remains below 3%, outperforming the dual-population genetic algorithm, the single-population genetic algorithm, and the Gurobi solver.
