This paper presents optimization of makespan for Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problems (FJSSP) using an Improved Genetic Algorithm integrated with Rules (IGAR). Machine assignment is done by Genetic Algorithm (GA) and operation selection is done using priority rules. Improvements in GA include a new technique of adaptive probabilities and a new forced mutation technique that positively ensures the generation of new chromosome. The scheduling part also proposed an improved scheduling rule in addition to four standard rules. The algorithm is tested against two well-known benchmark data set and results are compared with various algorithms. Comparison shows that IGAR finds known global optima in most of the cases and produces improved results as compared to other algorithms.
