Optimization for Manufacturing Process Based on Timed Petri Net and Genetic Algorithm

In order to improve the optimization efficiency, an optimization approach for Manufacturing Process based the Timed Petri Net (TPN) model and Genetic Algorithm is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the Manufacturing Process is modeled with Timed Petri Net (TPN). Then, an improved Genetic Algorithm (GA) is proposed to get the optimal process. In order to introduce the method in detail, a FMS scheduling problem is shown in this paper.
