ABSTRACT This study proposes a multiobjective variant of the phase‐wise teaching learning–based optimization algorithm, namely Non‐dominated Sorting Teaching Learning–Based Optimization (NSpTLBO), for solving job shop scheduling problems with unrelated parallel machines. The proposed technique is integrated no‐wait time heuristic mechanism that reschedules jobs assigned to machines so as minimize constraint violation. Such an approach implemented facilitate determination feasible solutions...
