Abstract
In this paper, we propose an optimal approach that generates and assesses assembly plans based on genetic algorithm. A randomly initialised population of (possibly non-feasible) assembly sequences may evolve near-optimal assembly plans by the matched crossover and mutation operation. The quality of a feasibly assembly sequence is evaluated based on the theory of set-pair analysis and fuzzy evaluation. And the individual fitness function of assembly plan is introduced. In the end, an example that endorses the soundness of our approach is included.
