Partie II. Une approche multicritère

This article deals with line configuration problems for mass production. Such a production line is made of several workstations. Each station can contain one or several pieces of equipment and employees. Multi-objective optimization algorithms are proposed for two closed problems: P1, choosing equipment for each station and P2, both line balancing and equipment selection. Incompatibilities of pieces of equipment as well as precedence constraints among operations are taken into account. A multi-objectives MULTISTART algorithm and adapted NSGA-II are developed to solve these two problems. The obtained results are promising.
