Backtracking of jobs in one-dimensional machine location problems

Article Abstract:

The job backtracking minimization task is considered as a quadratic assignment problem. A novel depth-first insertion heuristic (DIH) is proposed for improving the solution obtained using the multi-pass heuristic. It is shown that the DIH solution produced optimal results on test problems where the number of machines was less than or equal to 12. The optimal solution for problems involving 12 or more machines was difficult to obtain.
