This work objective is to propose an Iterated Local Search metaheuristic to minimize the weighted completion time of jobs on identical parallel machines scheduling problems. The secondary objective of this work is to propose a practical solution to the real problem of the studied company. The motivation of this work consists on a practical application in the Oil and Gas industry, where the PLSV vessels perform ordered operations in a set of wells aiming to maximize the oil production. The characteristics of the problem such as: eligibility between vessels and operations, setup times related to the family of activities, association between operations and wells and setup times depending on the material arrival fit well the identical parallel machine schedule modelling. In this work, an introduction about the theme is presented, followed by a literature review on identical parallel machine scheduling problems, the mathematical formulation with the problem description is presented, the methodology, including the solution representation, constructive heuristic, neighborhood structures, local search and Iterated Local Search is exposed, at last, the method results and conclusions of the work are summarized.
