Abstract

The paper outlines a method of developing a fitness measure for use in a genetic algorithm for assessing the performance of a generic production control system. The performance criteria are based on the ability to recover from inventory variations, the ability to filter out noise, robustness to production delays, robustness to WIP information delays and selectivity.
