Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of distributed task scheduling, and in particular to a distributed maintenance task scheduling method based on grey goose optimization and variable neighborhood, which is applicable to distributed production and maintenance systems in multiple industries such as manufacturing, energy, and logistics. Background Art

[0002] As all industries rely more and more on distributed systems, optimizing maintenance and operational efficiency becomes critical. These systems usually contain multiple interdependent components that require regular maintenance or task execution. How to formulate a robust scheduling strategy to efficiently allocate limited resources among decentralized tasks and simultaneously deal with the uncertainty of task duration and the risks of delayed maintenance has become a major challenge. By optimizing maintenance and task scheduling in a distributed environment, the overall efficiency of the system can be significantly improved, downtime can be reduced, and operating costs can be reduced. In addition, reasonable scheduling decisions can help deal with uncertainties in task execution and ensure that tasks are completed on time and efficiently, thereby improving system reliability and productivity and bringing stronger competitive advantages and customer satisfaction to the enterprise.

[0003] The steps of the basic variable neighborhood search algorithm and the grey goose optimization algorithm generally include: (1) initializing parameters and randomly generating a set of solutions (population); (2) finding the optimal individual in the population and generating multiple solutions in a neighborhood; (3) determining whether a better solution has been generated. If so, continue to use the initial neighborhood structure; otherwise, update the neighborhood; (4) determining whether the neighborhood search termination condition is met. If so, end the variable neighborhood search and migrate the new individual to the population; (5) using the dynamic clustering update rule of the grey goose optimization algorithm to update the individuals in the population and determine whether the algorithm termination condition is met. If so, end the entire algorithm; otherwise, return to step (2); iterate through the above steps to find the optimal solution individual.

[0004] The above discussion has the following defects and problems: (1) In terms of research issues, most traditional scheduling algorithms assume that the task execution time is fixed and are designed based on an ideal production environment. They ignore the possible decline in task execution efficiency and the randomness of task execution time in the actual production process. In particular, in multi-team or multi-workshop manufacturing systems, the task execution time is not only affected by the basic execution time, but also by factors such as travel time, changes in resource allocation, and personnel fatigue. Existing scheduling methods fail to fully consider the volatility of task execution time under these complex conditions, resulting in insufficient performance in dealing with the uncertainty of task execution time, which ultimately affects the overall production efficiency and robustness of scheduling strategies. In addition, when facing the simultaneous scheduling of multiple tasks and teams, traditional scheduling algorithms lack the flexibility to deal with resource constraints and task dependencies, making it difficult to achieve efficient resource allocation, which in turn leads to the inability of the production system to fully optimize production capacity and improve production efficiency, increasing operating costs and delay risks; (2) In terms of research methods, the Grey Goose Optimization Algorithm (GGO) is a group intelligence optimization algorithm developed by simulating the group behavior of grey goose migration. It has the advantages of strong global search capability and easy to avoid falling into local optimality. However, when dealing with high-dimensional complex problems, it may have the disadvantages of slow convergence speed and insufficient local search capability. Summary of the invention

[0009] Furthermore, there are three neighborhood structures in S1: Neighborhood structure : Randomly select a task from the team with the lowest completion probability and transfer it to other teams; Neighborhood structure : Swap two tasks from different teams; Neighborhood structure : Reverse a portion of the code.

[0010] Furthermore, the dynamic grouping update rule of the grey goose optimization algorithm in S8 is: calculate the minimum completion probability of each individual , find the minimum completion probability Recorded as ,according to The number of exploration groups and development groups will be adjusted according to the changes in . Each individual will be selected into the exploration group and the development group in turn, and the order of individuals will change randomly after each iteration.

[0011] Furthermore, the process of adjusting the number of the exploration group and the development group is as follows: (1) Initialization ; (2) If the best individual fitness of three consecutive iterations Existence and satisfaction , then jump to step (3); otherwise jump to step (4); (3) Increase the number of individuals in the exploration group , reduce the number of individuals in the development team , jump to step (4); (4) Order ,like , then jump to step (2); otherwise end.

[0012] Furthermore, the exploration group The search update process is: (1) ; (2) For the individual position in the exploration group, if , jump to step (3); otherwise jump to step (8); (3) If , jump to step (4); otherwise jump to step (7); (4) If , jump to step (5); otherwise jump to step (6); (5) , jump to step (9); (6) , jump to step (9); (7) , jump to step (9); (8) , jump to step (9); (9) Order ,like , then jump to step (8); otherwise, end this iteration; in, and To dynamically explore the vector, , , The parameter changes linearly from 2 to 0; and ( ) are calculated by the formulas , Stay consistent; , and exist Random value inside, and exist Update within; weight parameter exist Update within; exponential decay parameter , used to adjust the step size; exist Internal random value; is the exploration distance coefficient, and is a constant; Is the current iteration The individual position in Iteration The optimal individual position in is the individual position at the next iteration, , and are three random individuals in the exploration group, , and The closest one selected by the development team 3 sentinel individuals; It is a kind of summary result of multiple individuals in the exploration group, which helps individuals search in the overall best direction of the group.

First, the distribution of workpieces to be processed is determined by coding, and then the processing order of each team is optimized according to the scheduling algorithm. Through the synergistic effect of the global search capability of the Grey Goose Optimization Algorithm and the local optimization capability of the Variable Neighborhood Search Algorithm, the algorithm can find an approximate optimal solution in a variable production environment. This method significantly improves the shortcomings of the Grey Goose Optimization Algorithm in local search, while retaining the diversity of population characteristics and accelerating the convergence speed, ensuring the efficiency and robustness of the algorithm in complex scheduling problems.

[0015] (2) The present invention fully considers the deterioration effect of task execution in production maintenance (such as increased task execution time caused by personnel fatigue and equipment loss), and models and optimizes the randomness and uncertainty of task execution time. By combining heuristic algorithms with dynamic adjustment mechanisms, it can dynamically respond to fluctuations and delays in the task execution process of different teams, effectively reduce downtime in the production process, and improve the overall productivity of the system.

This mechanism enables the algorithm to adapt to production environments of different scales and complexities, ultimately improving the production capacity of the production system and reducing operating costs. It also demonstrates wide applicability and value in practical applications. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
