Highlights:

• A QHH algorithm is proposed for solving the SFTSP with makespan criterion.

• An efficient encoding and decoding pair is presented to generate feasible schedules.

• Eight simple heuristic rules are designed to construct a set of LLHs.

• Q-learning algorithm is employed as a high-level strategy to intelligently select the LLHs.

• The performance of the proposed QHH is evaluated on a set of benchmark scenarios.
