Abstract

Abstract: With a freezer door production system of a freezer company as an object,two production scheduling problems with limited buffer are studied.Considering the foaming equipment constraints of this workshop,research is conducted respectively on sequencing of production in the pre-assembly line and that of mould in the foaming line,in order to make the pre-assembly line match with the foaming line as much as possible,thus effectively reducing the number of empty foaming moulds and that of the average work-in-process inventory.Special inventory algorithms are designed to calculate the number of empty foaming moulds and that of average work-in-process inventory,and to respectively solve the two stages through the improved genetic algorithms.Finally,a case analysis with numerical examples verifies the effectiveness of the algorithms.

Key words: mixed-model assembly line, sequencing, inventory algorithms, genetic algorithms
