摘要:The article considers the possibility of applying the Pareto optimization method in combination with the ant algorithm for solving the task of scheduling the loading of process equipment in a flexible production system. Quality characteristics of the obtained production schedule of the machining section are analyzed depending on the choice of various combinations of optimization criteria. As a result of the experiments, carried out in the test case, it was found that with increasing number of criteria, the number of iterations required for a sufficiently accurate description of the Pareto boundary increases, which entails an increase in the algorithm running time, but the quality characteristics do not decrease significantly.
