Global Optimization of Energy and Production in Basic Industries: a Genetic Algorithm Application
نویسندگان
چکیده
The basic industries exhibit an increasing need for efficient management of all factors reducing the operation costs, leading to the necessity of a global multi-objective optimization methodology enabling the generation of optimum strategies fulfilling the required restrictions. In this paper a genetic algorithm is developed and applied for the optimal assignment of all the production sections in a particular mill of the Kraft pulp and paper industry in order to optimize energy costs and the production rate changes. This system is intended to fulfill all programmed or forced maintenance shutdowns as well as all the imposed reductions in production rates.

This paper studies the modeling and optimization of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions of eggplant production using artificial neural network and multi-objective genetic algorithm in Guilan province of Iran. Results showed that the highest share of energy consumption belongs to diesel fuel (49.24%); followed by nitrogen (33.30%). The results indicated that a total energy input of 13910.67 ...
متن کاملOptimization of profit and customer satisfaction in combinatorial production and purchase model by genetic algorithm
Optimization of inventory costs is the most important goal in industries. But in many models, the constraints are considered simple and relaxed. Some actual constraints are to consider the combinatorial production and purchase models in multi-products environment. The purpose of this article is to improve the efficiency of inventory management and find the economic order quantity and economic p...
