The optimisation of process planning has emerged as a pivotal aspect of modern manufacturing, where genetic algorithms (GAs) and hybrid techniques are leveraged to address the combinatorial complexity ...
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) represent a class of heuristic optimisation methods inspired by natural selection and Mendelian genetics. They iteratively evolve a population of candidate solutions ...
Optimization seeks to find the best. It could be to design a process that minimizes capital or maximizes material conversion, to choose operating conditions that maximize throughput or minimize waste, ...
