META'2016 Special Session on
Optimization methods for the design of production systems
International Conference on Metaheuristics and Nature Inspired Computing (META'2016) 27-31 Oct 2016 Marrakech, Morocco
​ ​SCOPE
Getting the highest performances with the lowest costs while respecting environmental constraints is one of the most important concerns of the designers of production and assembly systems. In addition to that, numerous sub-problems may be considered in the design procedure such as: buffers sizing, equipment selection, line balancing, etc. The aim of this session is to introduce heuristic and metaheuristic optimization methods developed to get an efficient design of production systems. We will focus on studies that propose approached optimization techniques to solve various design problems. Regarding the optimization approaches, single criterion and multi criteria optimization approaches could be presented.
The topics of this session, but are not limited to, are:
