...Seyed Mohammad Hassan Hosseini Purpose This paper aims to address a distributed assembly permutation flow-shop scheduling problem (DAPFSP) considering budget constraints and factory eligibility. The first stage of the considered production system is composed of several non-identical factories...

...Fatemeh Daneshamooz; Parviz Fattahi; Seyed Mohammad Hassan Hosseini Purpose Two-stage production systems including a processing shop and an assembly stage are widely used in various manufacturing industries. These two stages are usually studied independently which may not lead to ideal results...

... algorithm (IFOA) is presented. Moreover, the Euclidean norm of inverse Jacobian is used as the objective function of optimizing KCCs by comparing different objective functions. Finally, a case of side frame assembly is presented to illustrate design and optimization of KCCs through IFOA, and results show...
