Combining Extended Imperialist Competitive Algorithm with a Genetic Algorithm to Solve the Distributed Integration of Process Planning and Scheduling Problem

Distributed integration of process planning and scheduling (DIPPS) extends traditional integrated process planning and scheduling (IPPS) by considering the distributed features of manufacturing. In this study, we first establish a mathematical model which contains all constraints for the DIPPS probl...
