Inspection Allocation in Manufacturing Systems: A Genetic Algorithm Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we are concerned with the problem of location of inspection centers in a multistage manufacturing system. A Genetic algorithm based approach is developed to determine the location of inspection centers resulting in a minimum expected total cost. The total cost includes inspection, manufacturing and scrapping cost at each stage of the manufacturing process. A penalty cost is included in it to account for a defective item which is not detected by the inspection scheme. A set of test problems are solved using this algorithm.

In this paper, we focus on a continuously deteriorating critical equipment which its failure cannot be measured by cost criterion. For these types of systems like military systems, nuclear systems, etc it is extremely important to avoid failure during the actual operation of the system. In this paper we propose an approach which constrains failure probability to a pre-specified value. This valu...
