Vector Evaluated Particle Swarm Optimization Approach to Solve Assembly Sequence Planning Problem

Abstract

Multi-criteria Assembly Sequence Planning (ASP) is known as large scale, time consuming combinatorial problem. Vector Evaluated Particle Swarm Optimization (VEPSO) is a computational approach modified from Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to solve the multi-objective problems optimization. Multi-objective optimization problem consists of several objectives that needed to be achieve at the same time. This problem occurs in many applications with the simultaneous optimization of time, cost, orientation, and etc where these factor sometimes compete and/or incommensurable.
