Abstract

A method of optimizing equipment layout is proposed in production equipment layout of a complex manufacturing system, using fuzzy decisions combined with evolutionary algorithms. First, the optimization model is improved, the total cost is minimized, while the requirements of adjacent equipment and the space utilization are maximized; the material handling cost, the resetting cost, the loss of production costs are considered in the total cost objective. Second, this method takes into account the ambiguity of the satisfaction and priority of users such as cost, utilization and proximity requirements, based on the fuzzy decision theory, the multi-objective optimization model is fuzzified, and the fuzzy fitness function is designed to evaluate the pareto solution set according to the user's priority relation. Based on the characteristics of the solution model, the chromosomal coding method of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms and the genetic operation mode are improved, and the practicability and efficiency of the model is improved. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is proved by the optimization of the practical case.
