In addition to considering unrelated machines at each stage, the set-up times are supposed to be sequence- and machine-dependent, and it is assumed that jobs have different release times. Two Taguchi-based-tuned algorithms: (i) non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II), and (ii) non-dominated ranked genetic algorithm (NRGA) are applied to solve themodel. Six numerical examples with different sizes (small, medium, and large) are used to demonstrate the applicability and to exhibit the efficacy of the algorithms. The results show that the NRGA outperforms significantly the NSGA-II in the performance metrics for all six numerical examples. %U https://www.jise.ir/article_69704_ef688628071dac1d2db71242562982b8.pdf
