There are lots of depots in the traditional support system, which makes too many redundant spare parts and causes high cost of support. Meanwhile,the inconsistency among depots makes it difficult to manage spare parts. With the development of information technology and transportation, the supply network has become more efficient. In order to further improve the efficiency of supply-support work and the availability of the equipment system, building a system of one centralized depot with multiple depots becomes an appropriate way.In this case, location selection of the depots including centralized depots and multiple depots becomes a top priority in the support system. This paper will focus on the location selection problem of centralized depots considering ILS factors. Unlike the common location selection problem, depots in ILS require a higher service level. Therefore, it becomes desperately necessary to take the high requirement of the mission into account while determining location of depots. Based on this, we raise an optimal depot location model. First, the expected transportation cost is calculated.Next, factors in ILS such as response time, availability and fill rate are analyzed for evaluating positions of open depots. Then, an optimization model of depot location is developed with the minimum expected cost of transportation as objective and ILS factors as constraints. Finally, a numerical case is studied to prove the validity of the model by using the genetic algorithm. Results show that depot location obtained by this model can guarantee the effectiveness and capability of ILS well.展开更多

However, little research is done on how to determine the positions and the number of Nlocators. In practice, the N locators are frequently designed from experience, which is oftenunsatisfactory for achieving the precision requirement in fixture design. A new method to lay outthe N locators for measuring fixture of deformable sheet metal workpiece is presented, given thefixed number of A'. Finite-element method is used to model and analysis the deformation of differentlocator layouts. A knowledge based genetic algorithm (KBGA) is applied to identify the optimumlocator layout for measuring fixture design. An example of a door outer is used to verify theoptimization approach.展开更多

The minimum building time, being achieved by the part’s minimum building height and minimum width in 3DP’s y direction, is set as the objective of optimizing the part orientation. Genetic algorithm is adopted to find the minimum building height of parts and then ergodic searching is used to get the minimum width of part in y direction. A corresponding program for optimizing part orientation in 3DP was developed. Tests show the proposed approach is effective and fast.展开更多
