Integration of Process Routes Planning and Scheduling Based on Network Diagram and Ant Colony Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

The integration method based on network diagram and ant colony algorithm was proposed to realize integration of process routes planning and scheduling. A model of multiple process routes and resource (MPRR) network diagram was built, which applied the network diagram expression and represented the precedence constraint relationship among operations and resource conditions. In the model, the workpiece, operation and machine were joined together as a basic optimization cell to realize concurrent and holistic optimization for process routes planning and scheduling. The combination of MPRR network diagram and characteristics of ant colony algorithm was developed for generating optimal process routes and scheduling project. An example was studied to illustrate the effectiveness of the strategy.
