An advanced immune based strategy to obtain an optimal feasible assembly sequence
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to develop an intelligent methodology to find out an optimal feasible assembly sequence while considering the assembly predicates.
Design/methodology/approach
This proposed study is carried out by using two artificial immune system-based models, namely, Bone Marrow Model and Negative Selection Algorithms, to achieve the following objectives: to obtain the possible number of assembly sequences; to obtain the feasible assembly sequences while considering different assembly predicates; and to obtain an optimal feasible assembly sequence.
Findings
Proposed bone-marrow model determines the possible assembly sequences to ease the intricacy of the problem formulation. Further evaluation has been carried out through negative-selection censoring and monitoring models. These developed models reduce the overall computational time to determine the optimal feasible assembly sequence.
Originality/value
In this paper, the novel and efficient strategies based on artificial immune system have been developed and proposed to obtain all valid assembly sequences and optimized assembly sequence for a given assembled product using assembly attributes. The introduced methodology has proven its effectiveness in achieving optimal assembly sequence with less computational time.
