Evolutionary Optimization in MPS: A Brief Review
Abstract: Master production scheduling (MPS) is a combinatorial optimization problem that arises frequently in real-life applications. Because of the complexity and the vast search space, conventional optimization methods such as mathematical programming, dynamic programming and branch-and-bound technique are computationally infeasible. Evolutionary approach-based meta-heuristics have gained prominence in recent years for solving multi-objective optimization problems (MOP). Multi-objective evolutionary approaches (MOEAs) have substantial success across a variety of real-world engineering applications. The present …

A Study and Performance Evaluation of Evolutionary Optimization Techniques for Multi-objective Master Production Scheduling Problems
Abstract: Master production schedule (MPS) can effectively and efficiently synchronize the operations in any organization. MPS, which is posed as one of the multi-objective parameter optimization problems, is a plan that determines optimal values of products to be produced. For many engineering optimization problems, more competitive and optimal solutions can be obtained by using Heuristic evolutionary optimization algorithms. Among these, two main algorithms considered here are the differential evolution (DE) whose …
