Meanwhile affected by the intensification of market competition and economic globalization distributed manufacturing systems have become increasingly common. This paper addresses the energy-efficient scheduling of the distributed permutation flowshop (EEDPFSP) with the criteria of minimizing both total flow time and total energy consumption. Considering the distributed and multi-objective optimization complexity an improved NSGAII algorithm (INSGAII) is proposed. First we analyze the problem-specific characteristics and designed new operators based on the knowledge of the problem. Second four constructive heuristic algorithms are proposed to produce high-quality initial solutions. Third inspired by the artificial bee colony algorithm we propose a new colony generation method using the operators designed. Fourth a local intensification is designed for exploiting better non-dominated solutions. The influence of parameter settings is investigated by experiments to determine the optimal parameter configuration of the INSGAII. Finally a large number of computational tests and comparisons have been carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed INSGAII in solving EEDPFSP. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.
