        One main group of a transportation network is a discrete hub covering problem that seeks to minimize the total transportation cost. This paper presents a multi-product and multi-mode hub covering model, in which the transportation time depends on travelling mode between each pair of hubs. Indeed, the nature of products is considered different and hub capacity constraint is also applied. Due to the transport volume and related traffic, a new priority M/M/c queuing system is considered, in which products with high priority are selected for service ahead of those with low priority. The objectives of this model minimize the total transportation cost and total time. Besides, because of the computational complexity, a multi-objective parallel simulated annealing (MOPSA) algorithm is proposed and some computational experiments are provided to illustrate the efficiency of the presented model and proposed MOPSA algorithm. The performance of this algorithm is compared with two well-known multi-objective evolutionary algorithms, namely non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) and Pareto archive evolution strategy (PAES)‎.‎ تفاصيل المقالة

        ‎This paper proposes a multi-supplier multi-product inventory model in which the suppliers have unlimited production capacity, allow delayed payment, and offer either an all-unit or incremental discount. The retailer can delay payment until after they have sold all the units of the purchased product. The retailer’s warehouse is limited, but the surplus can be stored in a rented warehouse at a higher holding cost. The demand over a finite planning horizon is known. This model aims to choose the best set of suppliers and also seeks to determine the economic order quantity allocated to each supplier. The model will be formulated as a mixed integer and nonlinear programming model which is NP-hard and will be solved by using genetic algorithm (GA), simulated annealing (SA) algorithm, and vibration damping optimization (VDO) algorithm. Finally, the performance of the algorithms will be ‎compared.‎ تفاصيل المقالة

        Target coverage is one of the important problems in visual sensor networks. The coverage should be accompanied with an efficient use of energy in order to increase the network lifetime. In this paper, we address the maximum lifetime for visual sensor networks (MLV) problem by maximizing the network lifetime while covering all the targets. For this purpose, we develop a simulated annealing (SA) algorithm that divides the sensors’ Field-of-View (FoV) to a number of cover sets and then applies a sleep-wake schedule for cover sets. We also identify the best possible FoV of sensors according to the targets’ location using rotating cameras, to reduce the solution space and approaching to a near-optimal solution. Our proposed energy and neighbor generating functions of the SA result in a balanced distribution of energy consumption as well as escaping from local optima. We conduct some simulation experiments to evaluate the performance of our proposed method by comparing with some well-known solutions in the literature. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this paper, a multi-product continues review inventory control problem within batch arrival queuing approach (MQr/M/1) is modeled to find the optimal quantities of maximum inventory. The objective function is to minimize summation of ordering, holding and shortage costs under warehouse space, service level, and expected lost-sales shortage cost constraints from retailer and warehouse viewpoints. Since the proposed model is Np-Hard, an efficient imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) is proposed to solve the model. To justify proposed ICA, a simulated annealing algorithm has been utilized. In order to determine the best value of algorithms parameters that result in a better solution, a fine-tuning procedure is executed. Finally, the performance of the proposed ICA is analyzed using some numerical illustrations. تفاصيل المقالة

        The multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA) control chart is one of the best statistical control chart that are usually used to detect simultaneous small deviations on the mean of more than one cross-correlated quality characteristics. The economic design of MEWMA control charts involves solving a combinatorial optimization model that is composed of a nonlinear cost function and traditional linear constraints. The cost function in this model is a complex nonlinear function that formulates the cost of implementing the MEWMA chart economically. An economically designed MEWMA chart to possess desired statistical properties requires some additional statistical constraints to be an economic-statistical model. In this paper, the efficiency of some major evolutionary algorithms that are employed in economic and economic-stati stical design of a MEWMA control chart are discussed comparatively and the results are presented. Theinvestigated evolutionary algorithms are simulated annealing (SA), differential evolution (DE), genetic algorithm (GA), and particle swarm optimization (PSO), which are the most well known algorithms to solve complex combinatorial optimization problems. The major metrics to evaluate the algorithms are (i) the quality of the best solution obtained, (ii) the trends of responses in approaching the optimum value, (iii) the average objective-function-value in all trials, and (iv) the computer processing time to achieve the optimum value. The result of the investigation for the economic design shows that while GA is the most powerful algorithm, PSO is the second to the best, and then DE and SA come to the picture. For economic-statistical design, while PSO is the best and GA is the second to the best, DE and SA have similar performances. تفاصيل المقالة

        Assigning facilities to locations is one of the important problems, which significantly is influence in transportation cost reduction. In this study, we solve quadratic assignment problem (QAP), using a meta-heuristic algorithm with deterministic tasks and equality in facilities and location number. It should be noted that any facility must be assign to only one location. In this paper, first of all, we have been described exact methods and heuristics, which are able to solve QAP; then we have been applied a meta-heuristic algorithm for it. QAP is a difficult problem and is in NP-hard class, so we have been used honey bee mating optimization (HBMO) algorithm to solve it.This method is new and have been applied and improved NP-hard problems. It’s a hybrid algorithm from Honey-Bee Mating system, simulated annealing and genetic algorithm. تفاصيل المقالة

        This paper deals with a bi-objective hybrid no-wait flowshop scheduling problem minimizing the makespan and total weighted tardiness, in which we consider transportation times between stages. Obtaining an optimal solution for this type of complex, large-sized problem in reasonable computational time by using traditional approaches and optimization tools is extremely difficult. This paper presents a new multi-objective simulated annealing algorithm (MOSA). A set of experimental instances are carried out to evaluate the algorithm by advanced multi-objective performance measures. The algorithm is carefully evaluated for its performance against available algorithm by means of multi-objective performance measures and statistical tools. The related results show that a variant of our proposed MOSA provides sound performance comparing with other algorithms. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this paper, a mixed-integer linearized programming (MINLP) model is presented to design a group layout (GL) of a cellular manufacturing system (CMS) in a dynamic environment with considering production planning (PP) decisions. This model incorporates with an extensive coverage of important manufacturing features used in the design of CMSs. There are also some features that make the presented model different from the previous studies. These include: 1) the variable number of cells, 2) machine depot keeping idle machines, and 3) integration of cell formation (CF), GL and PP decisions in a dynamic environment. The objective is to minimize the total costs (i.e., costs of intra-cell and inter-cell material handling, machine relocation, machine purchase, machine overhead, machine processing, forming cells, outsourcing and inventory holding). Two numerical examples are solved by the GAMS software to illustrate the results obtained by the incorporated features. Since the problem is NP-hard, an efficient simulated annealing (SA) algorithm is developed to solve the presented model. It is then tested using several test problems with different sizes and settings to verify the computational efficiency of the developed algorithm in compare to the GAMS software. The obtained results show that the quality of the solutions obtained by SA is entirely satisfactory in compare to GAMS software based on the objective value and computational time, especially for large-sized problems. تفاصيل المقالة

        Multitasking is an important part of today’s manufacturing plants. Multitask machine tools are capable of processing multiple operations at the same time by applying a different set of part and tool holding devices. Mill-turns are multitask machines with the ability to perform a variety of operations with considerable accuracy and agility. One critical factor in simultaneous machining is to create a schedule for different operations to be completed in minimum make-span. A Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model is developed to address the machine scheduling problem. The adopted assumptions are more realistic when compared with the previous models. The model allows for processing multiple operations simultaneously on a single part; parts are being processed on the same setup and multiple turrets can process a single operation of a single job simultaneously performing multiple depths of cut. A Simulated Annealing algorithm with a novel initial solution and assignment approach is developed to solve large instances of the problem. تفاصيل المقالة

        Stochastic flexible flow shop scheduling problem (SFFSSP) is one the main focus of researchers due to the complexity arises from inherent uncertainties and also the difficulty of solving such NP-hard problems. Conventionally, in such problems each machine’s job process time may encounter uncertainty due to their relevant random behaviour. In order to examine such problems more realistically, fixed interval preventive maintenance (PM) and budget constraint are considered.PM activity is a crucial task to reduce the production efficiency. In the current research we focused on a scheduling problem which a job is processed at the upstream stage and all the downstream machines get busy or alternatively PM cost is significant, consequently the job waits inside the buffers and increases the associated holding cost. This paper proposes a new more realistic mathematical model which considers both the PM and holding cost of jobs inside the buffers in the stochastic flexible flow shop scheduling problem.

        Nowadays, the citrus supply chain has been motivated by both industrial practitioners and researchers due to several real-world applications. This study considers a four-echelon citrus supply chain, consisting of gardeners, distribution centers, citrus storage, and fruit market. A Mixed Integer Non-Linear Programming (MINLP) model is formulated, which seeks to minimize the total cost and maximize the profit of the Citrus supply chain network. Due to the complexity of the model when considering large-scale samples, two well-known meta-heuristic algorithms such as Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithms have been utilized. Additionally, a new multi-objective ACO algorithm based on a set of non-dominated solutions form the Pareto frontier developed to solve the mathematical model. An extensive comparison based on different measurements analyzed to find a performance solution for the developed problem in the three sizes (small, medium, and large-scale). Finally, the various outcomes of numerical experiments indicate that the MOACO algorithm is more reliable than other algorithms. تفاصيل المقالة

        In today’s competitive transportation systems, passengers search to find traveling agencies that are able to serve them efficiently considering both traveling time and transportation costs. In this paper, we present a new model for the traveling salesman problem with multiple transporters (TSPMT). In the proposed model, which is more applicable than the traditional versions, each city has different transporting vehicles and the cost of travel through each city is dependent on the transporting vehicles type. The aim is to determine an optimal sequence of visited cities with minimum traveling times by available transporting vehicles within a limited budget. First, the mathematical model of TSPMT is presented. Next, since the problem is NP-hard, a new hybrid parallel simulated annealing algorithm with a new coding scheme is proposed. To analyze the performance of the proposed algorithm, 50 numerical examples with different budget types are examined and solved using the algorithm. The computational results of these comparisons show that the algorithm is an excellent approach in speed and solution quality. تفاصيل المقالة

        This research presents a new application of the cloud theory-based simulated annealing algorithm to solve mixed model assembly line sequencing problems where line stoppage cost is expected to be optimized. This objective is highly significant in mixed model assembly line sequencing problems based on just-in-time production system. Moreover, this type of problem is NP-hard and solving this problem through some classical approaches such as total enumeration or exact mathematical procedures such as dynamic programming is computationally prohibitive. Therefore, we proposed the cloud theory-based simulated annealing algorithm (CSA) to address it. Previous researches indicates that evolutionary algorithms especially simulated annealing (SA) is an appropriate method to solve this problem; so we compared CSA with SA in this study to validate the proposed CSA algorithm. Experimentation shows that the CSA approach outperforms the SA approach in both CPU time and objective function especially in large size problems. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this paper, we considered solving approaches to flexible job shop problems. Makespan is not a good evaluation criterion with overlapping in operations assumption. Accordingly, in addition to makespan, we used total machine work loading time and critical machine work loading time as evaluation criteria. As overlapping in operations is a practical assumption in chemical, petrochemical, and glass industries, we used simulated annealing algorithm for multi-objective flexible job shop scheduling problem with overlapping in operations to find a suitable solution. To evaluate performance of the algorithm, we developed a mixed integer linear programming model, and solved it with the classical method (branch and bound). The results showed that in small size problems, the solutions of the proposed algorithm and the mathematical model were so close, and in medium size problems, they only had lower and upper bounds of solution and our proposed algorithm had a suitable solution. We used an experimental design for improving the proposed algorithm. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this paper, a new approach to overlapping operations in job shop scheduling is presented. In many job shops, a customer demand can be met in more than one way for each job, where demand determines the quantity of each finished job ordered by a customer. In each job, embedded operations can be performed due to overlapping considerations in which each operation may be overlapped with the others because of its nature. The effects of the new approach on job shop scheduling problems are evaluated. Since the problem is well known as NP-Hard class, a simulated annealing algorithm is developed to solve large scale problems. Moreover, a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) method is applied to validate the proposed algorithm. The approach is tested on a set of random data to evaluate and study the behavior of the proposed algorithm. Computational experiments confirmed superiority of the proposed approach. To evaluate the effect of overlapping considerations on the job shop scheduling problem, the results of classical job shop scheduling with the new approach (job shop scheduling problem with overlapping operations) are compared. It is concluded that the proposed approach can improve the criteria and machines utilization measures in job shop scheduling. The proposed approach can be applied easily in real factory conditions and for large size problems. It should thus be useful to both practitioners and researchers. تفاصيل المقالة

This paper aims at developing a new mathematical model for the multi-level capacitated LSP with setup times, safety stock deficit, shortage, and different production manners. Since the proposed linear mixed integer programming model is NP-hard, a new version of simulated annealing algorithm (SA) is developed to solve the model named revised SA algorithm (RSA). Since the performance of the meta-heuristics severely depends on their parameters, Taguchi approach is applied to tune the parameters of both SA and RSA. In order to justify the proposed mathematical model, we utilize an exact approach to compare the results. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed RSA, first, some test problems are generated; then, the results are statistically and graphically compared with the traditional SA algorithm. تفاصيل المقالة

        A facility layout problem is concerned with determining the best position of departments, cells, or machines on the plant. An efficient layout contributes to the overall efficiency of operations. It’s been proved that, when system characteristics change, it can cause a significant increase in material handling cost. Consequently, the efficiency of the current layout decreases or is lost and it does necessitate rearrangement. On the other hand, the rearrangement of the workstations may burden a lot of expenses on the system. The problem that considers balance between material handling cost and the rearrangement cost is known as the Dynamic Facility Layout Problem (DFLP). The objective of a DFLP is to find the best layout for the company facilities in each period of planning horizon considering the rearrangement costs. Due to the complex structure of the problem, there are few researches in the literature which tried to find near optimum solutions for DFLP with budget constraint. In this paper, a new heuristic approach has been developed by combining Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Parallel Simulated Annealing Algorithm (PSAA) which is the main contribution of the current study. The results of applying the proposed algorithm were tested over a wide range of test problems taken from the literature. The results show efficiency of the hybrid algorithm GA- to solve the Dynamic Facility Layout Problem with Budget Constraint (DFLPBC). تفاصيل المقالة

        Considering the increasingly high attention to quality, promoting the reliability of products during designing process has gained significant importance. In this study, we consider one of the current models of the reliability science and propose a non-linear programming model for redundancy allocation in the series-parallel systems according to the redundancy strategy and considering the assumption that the failure rate depends on the number of the active elements. The purpose of this model is to maximize the reliability of the system. Internal connection costs, which are the most common costs in electronic systems, are used in this model in order to reach the real-world conditions. To get the results from this model, we used meta-heuristic algorithms such as genetic algorithm and simulation annealing after optimizing their operators’ rates by using response surface methodology. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this paper, a heuristic algorithm is proposed in order to solve a nonlinear lexicography goal programming (NLGP) by using an efficient initial point. Some numerical experiments showed that the search quality by the proposed heuristic in a multiple objectives problem depends on the initial point features, so in the proposed approach the initial point is retrieved by Data Envelopment Analysis to be selected as an efficient solution. There are some weaknesses in classic NLGP algorithm that lead to trapping into the local optimum, so a simulated annealing concept is implemented during the searching stage to increase the diversity of search in the solution space. Some numerical examples with different sizes were generated and comparison of results confirms that the proposed solution heuristic is more efficient than the classic approach. Moreover the proposed approach was extended for cases with ordinal weights of inputs or outputs. The computational experiments for 5 numerical instances and the statistical analysis indicate that the proposed heuristic algorithm is a robust procedure to find better preferred solution comparing to the classic NLGP. تفاصيل المقالة

        Integrated production-distribution planning (PDP) is one of the most important approaches in supply chain networks. We consider a supply chain network (SCN) to consist of multi suppliers, plants, distribution centers (DCs), and retailers. A bi-objective mixed integer linear programming model for integrating production-distribution designed here aim to simultaneously minimize total net costs in supply chain and transfer time of products for retailers. From different terms of evolutionary computations, this paper proposes a Pareto-based meta-heuristic algorithm called multi-objective simulated annealing (MOSA) to solve the problem. To validate the results obtained, a popular algorithm namely non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is utilized as well. Since the solution-quality of proposed meta-heuristic algorithm severely depends on their parameters, the Taguchi method is utilized to calibrate the parameters of the proposed algorithm. Finally, in order to prove the validity of the proposed model, a numerical example is solved and conclusions are discussed. تفاصيل المقالة

        One of the biggest challenges of projects is the limitation in human resources and, more clearly, the limitation in the number of skilled workers. Proper allocation of workers can increase the quality of production. Production workers, as the largest producer of the production leap, play a key role in improving the country's production system. Therefore, their proper timing is very important. In this research, by developing the concept of fatigue caused by the same work into two types of positive and negative fatigue caused by doing similar work and not just the same, a new and flexible model is presented that uses it Tasks can be scheduled so that similar tasks are assigned to each operator in the smallest programmable period and dissimilar tasks in the largest programmable period, so that the total allocation cost (including the total cost of doing the work and the total cost of fatigue). Because the proposed workflow scheduling model is formulated as a multi-period BoH allocation model and formulated as a nonlinear integer model, it falls into the category of compositional optimization.

        In the present study, a technique has been addressed in order to model and optimize gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process which is one of the mostly used welding processes based on the high quality fabrication acquired. The effects of GTAW process variables on the joint quality of AISI304 stainless steel thin sheets (0.5 mm) have been investigated. The required data for modeling and optimization purposes has been gathered using Taguchi design of experiments (DOE) technique. Next, based on the acquired data, the modeling procedure has been performed using regression functions for two outputs; namely, heat affected zone (HAZ) width and ultimate tensile stress (UTS). Then, analysis of variance (ANOVA) has been performed in order to select the most fitted proposed models for single-objective and multi-criteria optimization of the process in such a way that UTS is maximized and HAZ width minimized using simulated annealing (SA) algorithm. Frequency, welding speed, base current and welding current are the most influential variables affecting the UTS at 22%, 21%, 20% and 17% respectively. Similarly, base current, welding current, frequency and welding speed affect the HAZ at 28%, 20%, 16%, and 15% respectively. Based on the results considering the lowest values for current results in the smallest amount of HAZ. By the same token in order to acquire the largest amount of UTSs the highest values of current must be considered. Setting welding and base current, frequency, speed, and debi at 42 and 5 apms, 46 Hz, 0.4495 m/min, and 5 lit/min respectively resulted the optimized HAZ and UTS simultaneously. The proper performance of the proposed optimization method has been proved through comparison between computational results and experimental data with less than 6% error. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this paper, we present a simulated annealing (SA) and a genetic algorithm (GA) based on heuristics for scheduling problem of jobs in virtual cellular manufacturing systems. A virtual manufacturing cell (VMC) is a group of resources that is dedicated to the manufacturing of a part family. Although this grouping is not reflected in the physical structure of the manufacturing system, but machines are spread on the shop floor physically. In this paper, there are multiple jobs with different manufacturing processing routes. First, we develop the mathematical model for the problem, and then we present the suggested algorithms. The scheduling objective is weighed tardiness and total travelling distance minimization. The problem is divided into two branches: small scale and large scale. For small scale, the results of GA and SA are compared to GAMS. For large scale problems, due to the time limitation of 3600 seconds, the results of GA and SA are compared to each other. Computational results show that both SA ad GA algorithms perform properly but SA is likely to turn out well in finding better solutions in shorter times especially in large scale problems. تفاصيل المقالة

In this paper, we have first presented an integer nonlinear programming model which aims to minimize the cost of material handling. Then, a metaheuristic SA-based algorithm is proposed. Our proposed SA is able to generate feasible solutions by a local search operator to explore and exploit the solution space. Next, problems with different sizes besides the real case study have been solved. The computational results show the capability of the proposed SA to obtain the solutions with high quality in a short time. تفاصيل المقالة

        Phosphorus is a basic constituent of chemical fertilizers and plays a pivotal role in crop yield enhancement in agriculture systems. Considering the growing demands for phosphorus and the limited resources of this vital substance, sustainable supply chain management (SCM) of chemical fertilizers is of great importance. In the present study, a mathematical model for sustainable chemical fertilizer SCM is presented. Taking into account the adverse environmental effects of the production and consumption of chemical fertilizers, the present study attempts to design a sustainable SCM concerning economic, environmental, and social factors. To solve the problem, a hybrid metaheuristic algorithm incorporating whale optimization and simulated annealing is used considering a multi-objective function. The simulation results obtained from a real case study of the chemical fertilizers supply chain network in Iran proved the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed model and solution method. Obtained results show the effectiveness of the proposed method compared with other algorithms with respect to economic, social, and environmental factors. تفاصيل المقالة

        Optimization of cutting conditions is a non-linear optimization with constraint and it is very important to the increase of productivity and the reduction of costs. In recent years, several evolutionary and meta-heuristic optimization algorithms were introduced. The Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm (COA) is one of several recent and powerful meta-heuristics which is inspired by the cuckoos and their lifestyle. In this paper, COA, Simulated Annealing (SA), Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) are first applied to five test functions and the performance of these algorithms is compared. These algorithms are then used to optimize the cutting conditions. The results showed that COA has more capabilities such as accuracy, faster convergence and better global optimum achievement than others. تفاصيل المقالة

        Today, with the development of Information Technology (IT) and economic globalization, the suppliers’ selection has been emphasized in supply chain systems. Accordingly, artificial intelligence-based methods have attracted much attention. Hence, in this research, the selection of appropriate suppliers with respect to the multi-resource supply policy, and the implementation of lateral transshipment have been studied, and meta-heuristic algorithms have been employed to solve the problem. In the proposed method, the supply chain network is improved by minimizing the inventory shortages through utilizing lateral transshipment between different factories. In order toefficiently solve the problem, a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm based on population-based genetic algorithm (GA) and single-solution simulated annealing (SA), named GASA, is propose, in order to simultaneously gain with the advantages of both algorithms, i.e., global search ability of GA and local search ability of SA. In order to compare the results of the proposed GASA, it is compared with GA and SA, to find the best solution. Given the parameters optimization and conducted analyses and comparisons of primary and hybrid algorithms performance, the hybrid GASA algorithm has been identified as the most efficient algorithm to solve the problem,compared to the other algorithms, emphasizing cost reduction and shortage volume. تفاصيل المقالة

        A vehicle routing problem is a significant problem that has attracted great attention from researchers in recent years. The main objectives of the vehicle routing problem are to minimize the traveled distance, total traveling time, number of vehicles and cost function of transportation. Reducing these variables leads to decreasing the total cost and increasing the driver's satisfaction level. On the other hand, this satisfaction, which will decrease by increasing the service time, is considered as an important logistic problem for a company. The stochastic time dominated by a probability variable leads to variation of the service time, while it is ignored in classical routing problems. This paper investigates the problem of the increasing service time by using the stochastic time for each tour such that the total traveling time of the vehicles is limited to a specific limit based on a defined probability. Since exact solutions of the vehicle routing problem that belong to the category of NP-hard problems are not practical in a large scale, a hybrid algorithm based on simulated annealing with genetic operators was proposed to obtain an efficient solution with reasonable computational cost and time. Finally, for some small cases, the related results of the proposed algorithm were compared with results obtained by the Lingo 8 software. The obtained results indicate the efficiency of the proposed hybrid simulated annealing algorithm. تفاصيل المقالة

        With the formation of the competitive electricity markets in the world, optimization of bidding strategies has become one of the main discussions in studies related to market designing. Market design is challenged by multiple objectives that need to be satisfied. The solution of those multi-objective problems is searched often over the combined strategy space, and thus requires the simultaneous optimization of multiple parameters. The problem is formulated analytically using the Nash equilibrium concept for games composed of large numbers of players having discrete and large strategy spaces. The solution methodology is based on a characterization of Nash equilibrium in terms of minima of a function and relies on a metaheuristic optimization approach to find these minima. This paper presents some metaheuristic algorithms to simulate how generators bid in the spot electricity market viewpoint of their profit maximization according to the other generators’ strategies, such as genetic algorithm (GA), simulated annealing (SA) and hybrid simulated annealing genetic algorithm (HSAGA) and compares their results. As both GA and SA are generic search methods, HSAGA is also a generic search method. The model based on the actual data is implemented in a peak hour of Tehran’s wholesale spot market in 2012. The results of the simulations show that GA outperforms SA and HSAGA on computing time, number of function evaluation and computing stability, as well as the results of calculated Nash equilibriums by GA are less various and different from each other than the other algorithms. تفاصيل المقالة

        To design a group layout of a cellular manufacturing system (CMS) in a dynamic environment, a multi-objective mixed-integer non-linear programming model is developed. The model integrates cell formation, group layout and production planning (PP) as three interrelated decisions involved in the design of a CMS. This paper provides an extensive coverage of important manufacturing features used in the design of CMSs and enhances the flexibility of an existing model in handling the fluctuations of part demands more economically by adding machine depot and PP decisions. Two conflicting objectives to be minimized are the total costs and the imbalance of workload among cells. As the considered objectives in this model are in conflict with each other, an archived multi-objective simulated annealing (AMOSA) algorithm is designed to find Pareto-optimal solutions. Matrix-based solution representation, a heuristic procedure generating an initial and feasible solution and efficient mutation operators are the advantages of the designed AMOSA. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, the performance of AMOSA is compared with an exact algorithm (i.e., [-constraint method) solved by the GAMS software and a well-known evolutionary algorithm, namely NSGAII for some randomly generated problems based on some comparison metrics. The obtained results show that the designed AMOSA can obtain satisfactory solutions for the multi-objective model. تفاصيل المقالة

        This paper aims at proposing a quadratic assignment-based mathematical model to deal with the stochastic dynamic facility layout problem. In this problem, product demands are assumed to be dependent normally distributed random variables with known probability density function and covariance that change from period to period at random. To solve the proposed model, a novel hybrid intelligent algorithm is proposed by combining the simulated annealing and clonal selection algorithms. The proposed model and the hybrid algorithm are verified and validated using design of experiment and benchmark methods. The results show that the hybrid algorithm has an outstanding performance from both solution quality and computational time points of view. Besides, the proposed model can be used in both of the stochastic and deterministic situations. تفاصيل المقالة

        This paper presents a multi-criteria vehicle routing problem with soft time windows (VRPSTW) to mini-mize fleet cost, routes cost, and violation of soft time windows penalty. In this case, the fleet is heterogene-ous. The VRPSTW consists of a number of constraints in which vehicles are allowed to serve customers out of the desirable time window by a penalty. It is assumed that this relaxation affects customer satisfaction and penalty is equal to a degree of customer dissatisfaction. The VRP, which is an extension of traveling sales-man problem (TSP), belongs to a class of NP-hard problems. Thus, it is necessary to use meta-heuristics for solving VRP in large-scale problems. This paper uses a simulated annealing (SA) approach with 1-Opt and 2-Opt operators for solving the proposed mathematical model. The proposed model is then solved by the Lingo software and the associated solutions are compared with the computational results obtained by the SA ap-proach for a number of instance problems. The obtained results are promising and indicating the efficiency of the proposed SA approach. تفاصيل المقالة

        Scheduling for job shop is very important in both fields of production management and combinatorial op-timization. However, it is quite difficult to achieve an optimal solution to this problem with traditional opti-mization approaches owing to the high computational complexity. The combination of several optimization criteria induces additional complexity and new problems. In this paper, we propose a Pareto approach to solve multi-objective job shop scheduling. The objective considered is to minimize the overall completion time (makespan) and total weighted tardiness (TWT). An effective simulated annealing algorithm based on proposed approach is presented to solve multi-objective job shop scheduling problems. An external memory of non-dominated solutions is considered to save and update the non-dominated solutions during the problem solving process. The parameters in the proposed algorithm are determined after conducting a pilot study. Numerical examples are used to evaluate and study the performance of the proposed algorithm. تفاصيل المقالة

        Behavior factor of the structures is a coefficient that includes the inelastic performance of the structure and indicates the hidden resistance of the structure in the inelastic stage. In most seismic codes, this coefficient is merely dependent on the type of lateral resistance system and is introduced with a fixed number. However, there is a relationship between the behavior factor, ductility (performance level), structural geometric properties, and type of earthquake (near and far). In this paper, a new optimal correlation is attempted to predict the behavior factor (q) of EBF steel frames, under near-fault earthquakes, using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithms. For this purpose, a databank consists of 12960 data created. To establishing different geometrical properties of models, 3-,6-, 9-, 12-, 15, 20- stories steel EBF frames considered with 3 different types of link beam, 3 different types of column stiffness and 3 different types of brace slenderness. Using nonlinear time history under 20 near-fault earthquake, all models analyzed to reach 4 different performance level. data were used as training data of the Artificial Intelligence Models. Results shows the high accuracy of proposed correlation, established by PSO algorithm. The results of the correlation between the studied algorithms show more accuracy in the relations produced than the previous algorithms and confirm the significance of the governing relations. تفاصيل المقالة
