In this paper an improved ant colony algorithm is presented and an algorithm in combination with particle swarm optimization algorithm and the improved ant colony algorithm for multi-objective flexible job shop scheduling problem are employed. The algorithm proposed in this paper includes two parts. The first part makes use of the fast convergence of PSO to search the particles optimum position and...
