摘要
This work deals with a scheduling problem of reclaimers. This problem involves a set of ships to be loaded with predefined stockpiles. These stockpiles are unloaded into ship holds, and each hold must store a predefined product and quantity of iron ore. Stockpiles are stored in storage yards, which have reclaimers to reclaim iron ore from stockpiles and send it to berthed ships. The objective is to schedule the operations of reclaimers to minimize the sum of ships' berthing times. A hybrid algorithm, combining the multi-start, GRASP and variable neighbourhood descent procedures, is proposed to treat instances of any scale of the problem. It was tested in real instances, and its results were compared with the hybrid simulated annealing algorithm from the literature and a fast simulation algorithm that emulates operators' decision-making. The proposed algorithm was the best in all instances, and statistical tests proved its superiority
