In automobile manufacturing, it is a great challenge to select and execute the services with the optimal value, cost and time out of complex processes. Most traditional algorithms only optimize one objective. In this paper, an optimization algorithm for service value and time is proposed under the constraint of deadline, and denoted as SRVT. The proposed algorithm reversely derives the service with the maximum value at each time point, and adds it to the set of candidate solutions in the next iteration. Then, the optimal solutions were selected iteratively from the set. In the end, the maximum service value of the entire workflow was obtained. The proposed SRVT was compared with two traditional algorithms through a case study. The comparison shows that our algorithm can outperform the contrastive algorithms to a certain extent, and strike a balance between service time, service cost and service quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
