Design of Process Plan for Simultaneous Scheduling of Machines and Agv's Using Non Traditional Optimization Technique

Design of process planning and scheduling is defined as any computer program that uses advanced mathematical algorithm for logic to perform optimization and / or simultaneous on finite capacity scheduling and others. This work addresses the problem of simultaneous system of machine and AGV’S (Automated Guided Vehicles) in FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System) so as to minimize make span and mean tardiness. For solving such combinatorial optimization problems non-traditional approach is most effective algorithm that aims to converge and give optimal solution in a shorter time. Therefore in this work a suitable simultaneous scheduling mechanism is design to generate accurate scheduling using simulated annealing (SA) and differential evolution (DE) approach. For this particular problem, coding has developed in C++ and run by IDE tool, which gives optimum solution for the bench mark problem chosen from literature.
