Abstract:
Aiming at the characteristics of obvious block division and strong discreteness in the assembly production mode of electronic products, this paper proposes a composite U-shaped flexible assembly line model, and establishes a multi-objective optimization mathematical model on this basis. According to the characteristics of the model, the improved ranked positional weight(RPW) method is used to adjust the generation process of the initial solution of the genetic algorithm, so that the genetic algorithm can be applied to the block task model. At the same time, the adaptive cross mutation factor is used on the premise that tasks between different blocks are not crossed during cross mutation, which effectively improves the probability of excellent individuals retaining. After that, the algorithm is used to iterate to obtain the optimal solution task assignment. Finally, the algorithm results are compared with actual production data, which verifies the validity and feasibility of the assembly line model for discrete production mode proposed in this paper.
Key words:    discrete production mode    composite U-type flexible assembly line    genetic algorithm    resource balance
