Abstract

The paper deals with the production scheduling optimization problem. Real production environment have been considered - a company that produces different types of products; and an optimization method based on the intelligent ant-colony optimization (ACO) algorithm have been proposed. In the paper the original problem formulation for the considered production scheme is shown, also the details of ACO meta-heuristic are proposed and presented.
