To deal with the multi-objective hybrid flow Shop Scheduling Problem (HFSP), an improved genetic algorithms based on parallel sequential moving and variable mutation rate is proposed. Compared with the traditional GA, the algorithm proposed in this paper uses the two-point mutation rule based on VMR to find the global optimum which can make the algorithm jump out of the local optimum as far as possible, once it falls into the local optimum quickly. Decoding rules based on parallel sequential movement ensures that the artifact can start processing in time, so that the buffer between stages in the flow-shop is as little as possible, and the production cycle is shortened. Finally, a program was developed with the actual data of a workshop to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm. The result shows that the algorithm achieves satisfactory results in all indexes mentioned above.
