To solve the NP-complete no-wait flowshop problems, objective increment properties are analyzed and proved for fundamental operations of heuristics. With these properties, whether a new generated schedule is better or worse than the original one is only evaluated by objective increments, instead of completely calculating objective values as the traditional algorithms do, so that the computational time can be considerably reduced. An objective increment-based hybrid genetic algorithm (IGA) is proposed by integrating the genetic algorithm (GA) with an improved various neighborhood search (VNS)as a local search. An initial solution generation heuristic(ISG) is constructed to generate one individual of the initial population. An expectation value-based selection mechanism and a crossover operator are introduced to the mating process. The IGA is compared with the traditional GA and two best-so-far algorithms for the considered problem on 110 benchmark instances. An experimental results show that the IGA outperforms the others in effectiveness although with a little more time consumption.
