Simultaneous Scheduling of Machines and AGVs in Flexible Manufacturing System with Minimization of Tardiness Criterion

Optimum Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) operation plays a crucial role in improving the performance of Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). One of the main elements in the implementation of AGV is task scheduling. This will enhance the productivity, Minimize delivery cost and optimally utilize the entire fleet. This enhance article Deals with Binary particle swarm Vehicle Heuristic Algorithm (BPSVHA) for simultaneous Scheduling of machines and AGVs adopting Rebust factor function and minimization of mean tardiness. The method is found to provide better solution
