Application of Multi-Objective Culture Particle Swarm Optimization in Complex Product Assembly Line Balancing

Article Preview

Abstract:

As for the typeIassembly line balancing problem in complex products, the mathematical model of optimization goal is established with its optimization goal of minimizing the number of workstations as well as minimizing the differences in assembly complex relationship, and with the introduction of the framework of cultural evolution, a multi-cultural particle swarm algorithm is presented. The algorithm used arranged code so that the particle can still be able to meet the job constraints after its been decoded; using crowded distance to sort operator and remove the extra particles, in order to ensure a uniform distribution of the Pareto front; in order to improve the efficiency of the convergence of the algorithm, we adjust the flight parameters of particle basing on the dynamic changes in crowding distance. Through the comparison of standard test problems with other algorithms, we indicate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
