Tabu Search Algorithm Based on Lower Bound and Exact Algorithm Solutions for Minimizing the Makespan in Non-Identical Parallel Machines Scheduling

Algorithm 2

TS algorithm template.
Choose the initial solution using LPT rule s0
Initialize memory structures
Repeat
Generate a set “A”of nontabu solutions
Update memory structures
Until stopping criterion true
s0 is an approximate solution to the optimal solution
