Applications of Evolutionary Technology to Manufacturing and Logistics Systems: State-of-the Art Survey

Evolutionary computation technology and its application

“…Production and logistics systems are required to control and manage various types of information such as manufacturing information, technical information and management information created in the production processes, referring to all the operation processes from material procurement to manufacturing, logistics and distribution, and to offer fast and the highest possible production and logistics capabilities. In fact, many efficient EC approaches have been proposed for practical problems involved in equipment and facility management, production control and planning, scheduling, supply chain management, logistics management, material and inventory management, quality control, environment management and economic efficiency [12].…”
