Article Energy-Aware Scheduling in Flow Shops: a Novel Artificial Neural Network-Driven Multi-Objective Optimization(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Aslan, SehmusGroup technology is a managerial strategy used to optimize production by reducing setup times, lead times, and work-in-process inventories. Research on flow-shop sequence-dependent group scheduling problems (FSDGSPs) has primarily focused on minimizing makespan and total flow time to improve efficiency. However, the need for energy-efficient scheduling in FSDGSPs remains underexplored despite increasing sustainability concerns. To address this, the energy-efficient flow-shop sequence-dependent group scheduling problem (EEFSDGSP) is introduced. A novel multi-objective optimization (MOO) technique, the artificial neural network-based multi-objective genetic algorithm (ANN-MOGA), is proposed to minimize makespan and energy consumption in EEFSDGSP. ANN-MOGA advances MOO by using a neural network to evaluate fitness and guide selection, reducing computational complexity versus traditional methods like NSGA-II and SPEA2. A post-processing step (PPANNS) further enhances solution diversity and distribution. Results show ANN-MOGA, especially with PPANNS, outperforms NSGA-II and competes effectively with SPEA2 in larger problem instances.Article A Hybrid Genetic Algorithm for Solving Energy-Efficient Mixed-Model Robotic Two-Sided Assembly Line Balancing Problems With Sequence-Dependent Setup Times(Pamukkale Univ, 2024) Aslan, SehmusSerious environmental challenges such as global warming and climate change have captured a growing amount of public awareness in the last decade. Besides monetary incentives, the drive for environmental preservation and the pursuit of a sustainable energy source have contributed to an increased recognition of energy usage within the industrial sector. Meanwhile, the challenge of energy efficiency stands out as a major focal point for researchers and manufacturers alike. Efficient assembly line balancing plays a vital role in enhancing production effectiveness. The robotic two-sided assembly line balancing problem (RTALBP) commonly arises in manufacturing facilities that produce large-sized products in high volumes. In this scenario, multiple robots are placed at each assembly line station to manufacture the product. The utilization of robots is extensive within two-sided assembly lines, primarily driven by elevated labour expenses. However, this adoption has resulted in the challenge of increasing energy consumption. Therefore, in this study, a new hybrid genetic algorithm is introduced, incorporating an adaptive local search mechanism. for the mixed-model robotic two-sided assembly line balancing problems with sequence-dependent setup times. This algorithm has two main objectives: minimizing cycle time (time-based approach) and overall energy consumption (energy-based approach). Depending on managerial priorities, either the time-based or energy-based model can be chosen for different production timeframes.
