Job-shop manufacturing environment requires planning of schedules for the systems of low-volume having numerous variations. For a job-shop scheduling, ‘k’ number of operations and ‘n’ number of jobs on ‘m’ number of machines processed through an assured objective function to be minimized (makespan). This paper presents a capable genetic algorithm for the job-shop scheduling problems among operating parameters such as random population generation with a population size of 50, operation based chromosome structure, tournament selection as selection scheme, 2-point random crossover with probability 80%, 2-point mutation with probability 20%, elitism, repairing of chromosomes and no. of iteration is 1000. An algorithm is programmed for job shop scheduling problem using MATLAB 2009 a 7.8. The proposed genetic algorithm with certain operating parameters is applied to the two case studies taken from literature. The results also show that genetic algorithm is the best optimization technique for solving the scheduling problems of job shop manufacturing systems evolving shortest processing time and transportation time due to its implications to more practical and integrated problems.
