| Summary: | In the highly dynamic design environments, task allocation is subject to considerable design changes. The task reallocating to cope with various unexpected design changes becomes an increasingly important issue in the complex product design (CPD). In this paper, we propose a task reallocating model based on an adaptive multi-objective genetic algorithm and Tabu search (AMOGATS) method to study the dynamic task allocating procedure considering design changes, which integrates the advantages of adaptive genetic algorithm and Tabu search algorithm. Three objectives, i.e. completion time, robustness and stability, are considered simultaneously to measure the task allocation performance. A real example is employed to test and evaluate the performance of proposed method. The computational results imply that the proposed AMOGATS performs better than the heuristic algorithms available in the literature, which has more advantages on the convergence rate and running efficiency than the other algorithms, along with a better solution. This work provides a useful decision support to carry out the task reallocating with high levels of flexibility and efficiency during the process of CPD.
