A Satisfaction Differential Evolution Algorithm for Detailed Machine Layout in Assembly Plant

Article Preview

Abstract:

We herein present a satisfaction differential evolution algorithm to deal with machine layout in assembly plant. This paper firstly provide the assumption for detailed machine layout problem, build a mathematical model of detailed machine layout, and replace the optimal solution with satisfactory solution, combine satisfactory optimization theory with differential evolution algorithms, employ satisfaction function as the objective function of differential evolution algorithm. The experimental results verified our methods with practical engineering examples.
