Toubia for the data used in the study. We compare a broad range of optimal product line design methods. The comparisons take advantage of recent advances that make it possible to identify the optimal solution to problems that are too large for complete enumeration. Several of the methods perform surprisingly well, including Simulated Annealing, Product-Swapping and Genetic Algorithms. The Produ...

کاربرد روشهای هیورستیک اولویت وزنی و طولانی ترین زمان عملیات (LCR) متعادل سازی خطوط مونتاژ و تاثیر آن بر عملکرد سازمان

According to researches, one of the productivity barriers among many organizations is assembly line balancing problem, which needs scientific models to be solved. This paper examines the effect of line balancing on the functioning of assembly line in two sections. In the first section, after studying the theoretic bases and reviewing the literature, we have discussed the assembly concepts, diff...

Efficient Genetic Based Methods for Optimizing the Reversible and Quantum Logic Circuits

Various synthesis methods have been proposed in the literature for reversible and quantum logic circuits. However, there are few algorithms to optimize an existing circuit with multiple constraints simultaneously. In this paper, some heuristics in genetic algorithms (GA) to optimize a given circuit in terms of quantum cost, number of gates, location of garbage outputs, and delay, are proposed. ...
