- Abstract
The present paper discusses the optimization of scheduling by reducing changeover time in a plywood industry. The Genetic Algorithm (GA) tool is used to solve the m machine and n jobs problem. The GA is developed in C++ language to reduce the changeover time. The production data collected from the industry is used for the analysis. The results obtained for existing sequence of production and changeover time as well as modified sequence obtained through GA are compared and discussed with plant management who found the analysis to be very useful.
