An Ant Colony Algorithm Method for Multi-Objective Production System

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper proposed a mathematical model called Multi-objective Production System Design (MOPSD) model solved by Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). The MOPSD model placed a production system under the constrained factory space to achieve the minimal total material transportation flow cost. This paper discussed 2-phase pheromone layout procedure that we proposed how to transform the best design information into and the relationship and tracing technology. After modeling experiment we proved it can be put the best design information into 2-phase pheromone layout procedure and achieved the minimal total material transportation flow cost by simply tracing technology.
