title = "Multi-objective semiconductor manufacturing scheduling: A random keys implementation of NSGA-II",
abstract = "We examine a complex, multi-objective semiconductor manufacturing scheduling problem involving two batch processing steps linked by a timer constraint. This constraint requires that any job completing the first processing step must be started on the succeeding second machine within some allowable time window; otherwise, the job must repeat its processing on the first step. We present a random keys implementation of NSGA-H for our problem of interest and investigate the efficacy of different batching policies in terms of the number of approximate efficient solutions that are produced by NSGA-II over a wide range of experimental problem instances. Experimental results suggest a full batch policy can produce superior solutions as compared to greedy batching policies under the experimental conditions examined.",
