Non-linear optimal control of manufacturing system based on modified differential evolution

This study considers the non-linear optimal control of the complex manufacturing system. We construct a mathematical model, which decomposes the complex manufacturing system into many correlated working centers, where the number of inventory and production evolves dynamically. It aims to minimize the cost of production control. We can utilize MDE algorithm to solve this model. The model can be easily used in multi-product, multi-center, multi-period manufacturing system.
