Using genetic algorithms for practical multi-objective production schedule optimisation

Production scheduling is a notoriously difficult problem. Manufacturing environments contain complex, time-critical processes, which create highly constrained scheduling problems. Genetic algorithms (GAs) are optimisation tools based on the principles of evolution. They can tackle problems that are...
