Multi-Objective Optimal Model for Task Scheduling and Allocation in a Two Machines Robotic Cell Considering Breakdowns

摘要

This paper aimed to demonstrate a metaheuristic as a solution procedure to schedule a two-machine, identical parts robotic cell under breakdown. The proposed previous model enabled one to determine optimal allocation of operations to the machines and corresponding processing times of each machine. For the proposed mathematical model to minimize cycle time and operational cost, multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm was provided. Through some numerical examples, the optimal solutions were compared with the previous results. MOPSO algorithm could find the solutions for problems embeds up to 50 operations in a rationale time.
