A heuristic-assisted deep reinforcement learning algorithm for flexible job shop scheduling with transport constraints by Xiaoting Dong, Guangxi Wan, Peng Zeng

“…Abstract Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are widely used for transportation in flexible job shop (FJS) systems, and their transportation task scheduling has the same substantial impact on production efficiency as machine scheduling does. However, traditional FJS scheduling methods often prioritize job sequencing and machine selection while ignoring the impact of AGV transportation, resulting in suboptimal scheduling solutions and even difficulties in implementation. …”
