| Abstract | Multiple parts process planning (MPPP) is a hard optimization problem that requires the rigor and intensity of metaheuristic-based algorithms such as simulated annealing and genetic algorithms. In this paper, a solution method for this problem is developed based on genetic algorithms. Genetic algorithms solve problems by exploring a given search space. To do this, a landscape over which the search traverses is constructed based on a number of algorithm choices. Key algorithm choices include (a) type of chromosome representation, which affects the efficiency of an algorithm, and (b) type and form of genetic operators, which affect the effectiveness of an algorithm. More specifically, the suitability of a variable-length chromosome (VLC) representation for encoding a solution to a MPPP problem is investigated. The effectiveness and efficiency of implementing the VLC algorithm is analyzed and compared with: (a) the commonly used fixed-length chromosome representation, (b) a variant of the simulated annealing algorithm, and (c) a knowledge-informed simulated annealing algorithm. The scalability of the algorithms is analyzed and their effectiveness demonstrated by experimental results based on four problem sizes. Obtained results show that, although there are variances in performances, all algorithms investigated are capable of obtaining good solutions. In addition, variances were observed for different aspects of the MPPP problem. The results indicate that the VLC algorithm is effective in solving MPPP problems that consider multiple aspects in the search for optimal process planning solutions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
