Cluster-Based Algorithm for Order Grouping Problem of Round Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

Considering the feature of round steel enterprises with the contradiction between mass production size and the multi-variety and small-batch market demands, an order-grouping problem is studied with transportation optimization. Two objectives that to minimize the delivery destination difference and delivery date difference are presented, and an algorithm improved k-means algorithm procedure is proposed to solve the problem. In this algorithm, a method is applied to generate representative initial centers of k-means algorithm for optimization. Experiment results show that the algorithm is feasible and effective.
