Abstract

Nowadays, the engineering problems are complicated. Optimization methods can apply meta-heuristics concepts to search the solution.  Meta-heuristic methods are powerful for solving various problems including scheduling and minimize cost of manufacturing problems. This study presents efficiency of Improved harmony search (IHSA) and hybridization methods (HIHSA) for solving engineering problems. The results show that HIHSA is better than IHSA in terms of the mean, standard deviation and data distribution.
