Abstract: In this paper we solve the repeated partition scheduling problem by the three metaheuristics: simulated annealing, tabu search, and genetic algorithms. The procedures are described and particular parameters for each of the procedures are established. Computational experiments on twenty-two test problems show that the best procedure is the tabu search.

Keywords: Repeated partition scheduling; metaheuristics; simulated annealing; tabu search; genetic algorithms.
