Production Control Strategy and its Parameters Optimization for a Two-Stage Production System

Abstract:

On-off of the standby system is an important factor that influences the performance of the production system. A dual threshold control strategy based on the on-off control of the standby system is proposed for the optimal control of the two-stage production system for which the last stage has stochastic production capacity. A control parameters optimization model is built with the objective of minimizing the total production cost, and a genetic algorithm is adopted to resolve the optimization problem. Finally, an example is taken to validate the effectiveness of the proposed dual threshold control strategy and the parameter optimization algorithm.
