Artificial Immune System (AIS) based information system to solve scheduling problem in leagile driven steel industries

The fast changing market scenario and shifting consumer interest has enforced the steel industries to upgrade their traditional supply chain with the modern leagile ones to compete in the market. The paper shows the importance of the information obtained by a new hybrid AIS-FLC algorithm in which the Artificial Immune System inheriting Fuzzy Logic Controller (AIS-FLC) tool has been utilized for scheduling the charges in steel industries. The results have been compared with those obtained from GA, simple AIS, and some of the priority rules to show the efficacy of the AIS-FLC algorithm. The paper also emphasizes on managing the information to improve the performance of steel industries.
