A Review on the Application of Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Systems to Optimization Problems in Operations Management

The use of hybrid artificial intelligence systems in operations management has grown during the last years given their ability to tackle combinatorial and NP hard problems. Furthermore, operations management problems usually involve imprecision, uncertainty, vagueness, and high-dimensionality. This paper examines recent developments in the field of hybrid artificial intelligence systems for those operations management problems where hybrid approaches are more representative: design engineering, process planning, assembly line balancing, and dynamic scheduling.
