Abstract

In this chapter, an effective genetic algorithm is proposed to optimize the multi-objective Integrated Process Planning and Scheduling (IPPS) problem with various flexibilities in process planning. Three types of flexibilities related to process, sequence, and machine are considered. And three objectives including makespan, total machine workload, and maximal machine workload are taken into account simultaneously. According to the model and characteristics of multi-objective IPPS, the framework of the proposed algorithm is designed to optimize three objectives simultaneously. Effective genetic operations are employed in the proposed algorithm. Pareto set is set to store and maintain the solutions obtained during the searching procedure; the proposed algorithm could get several Pareto-optimal solutions during one searching process. Two experiments are employed to test the performance of the proposed algorithm. The experiment results show that the proposed algorithm can solve multi-objective IPPS problems with various flexibilities in process planning effectively and obtain good solutions.
