Particle swarm optimization & gravitational search algorithm in sequential process planning

The purpose of this study is to investigate the application of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and gravitational search algorithm (GSA) in assembly sequence planning problem, to look for the sequence which require the least assembly time. The problem model is an assembly process with 25 parts, whi...
