Application of Particle Swarm Optimization in the Decision-Making of Manufacturers’ Production and Delivery

The aim of this paper is to study the loading decision problem in manufacturer’s product distribution. Owing to the order fulfillment optimization condition of the manufacturer, the decision-making model of manufacturers’ production and delivery has been founded. This paper has given out the algorithm finding the solution based on particle swarm optimization. The results indicate that the decision-making of manufacturers’ production and delivery is a complicated N-P decision-making problem and finding the solution is also very difficult. The solving algorithm based on particle swarm optimization is effective to the model of this paper.
