A Bi-Population Co-Evolutionary Multi-Objective Optimization Algorithm for Production Scheduling Problems in a Metal Heat Treatment Process with Time Window Constraints

Heat treatment is a critical intermediate process in copper strip manufacturing, where strips go through an air-cushion annealing furnace. The production scheduling for the air-cushion annealing furnace can contribute to cost reduction and efficiency enhancement throughout the overall copper strip p...
