Abstract: In this paper, the concept of flexible and multiple preventive maintenance activities is introduced by reformulating classical bicriteria permutation flow shop scheduling problem into stochastic scheduling with objective to minimise system utilisation time with minimum makespan. The mathematical model is formulated to handle the uncertainties in job processing time and the time interval for machine maintenance. The problem of stochastic flow shop scheduling environment with maintenance activities, is NP-hard. Therefore, the advanced metaheuristic is implemented to solve large scale instances of referred problem. Extensive computational analysis is carried out to depict the superiority of proposed metaheuristic in terms of effectiveness and efficacy.
