Popis: Given the importance of production planning and control in the design of flexible services and manufacturing systems, scheduling problems with interfering jobs are much-needed optimization tools to respond to heterogeneous and fluctuating market demands in a timely fashion. This study contributes to the scheduling literature developing an effective multi-objective (M-O) metaheuristic to solve the Single-machine Scheduling Problems with Interfering Jobs (SSP-IJs). Integrating a local search-based mechanism into the evolutionary search procedure, a Greedy-based non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm III (GNSGA-III) is proposed that effectively explores multi-objective solution environments. Various performance indicators within extensive numerical tests are used to compare the performance of the GNSGA-III with that of the best-performing benchmark algorithm in the literature developed to solve the SSP-IJs. Statistical tests verify that the developed multi-objective optimization algorithm is superior with respect to various performance indicators. Applications of the developed solution approach are worthwhile topics to help advance multi-objective optimization problems.
