In this paper, we resrict our analysis to the multiple objective optimisation of environmental and economic objectives.
While the approach uses multiple objective optimisation, the authors did not show empirical evidence of their approach or its ability to scale.
This methodology is able to handle multiple objective optimisation problems in the area of ship design, where the simultaneous optimisation of several conflicting objectives is considered.
This paper describes the application of an ant colony optimisation (ACO) algorithm to the multiple objective optimisation of a rail vehicle floor sandwich panel.
Process System Engineering (PSE) techniques for multiple objective optimisation have to date focused typically on the optimisation of cost versus the potential for waste minimisation, with the recent inclusion of operability issues.
The proposed approach enables the design engineer to systematically derive optimal utility systems which are economically sustainable and economic by embedding Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) principles within a multiple objective optimisation framework.
Using a multiple objective optimisation model, a sensitivity analysis has been conducted to detect variance of performance in relation to three typical supply chain strategies (manufacturing to order, manufacturing from stocks and manufacturing to stocks), and based on different product characteristics (value-adding and demand uncertainty).
Accordingly, three criteria of optimality, namely WSM (Weighted Sum Model), WPM (Weighted Product Model) and joint method of the latters called WASPAS (Weighted Aggregated Sum Product ASsessment) are applied, and their peculiarities are examined by comparing to well-known and reputed MOORA (Multiple Objective Optimisation on the basis of Ratio Analysis) method.
Water management practice has benefited from the development of model-driven Decision Support Systems (DSS), and in particular those that combine simulation with single or multiple-objective optimisation tools.
In this paper, based on related literatures and multiple-objective optimisation method (MOO), a new posture prediction and analysis method is proposed for predicting the optimal posture under non-fatigue and fatigue conditions and evaluating the physical fatigue in manual material handling operation.
