Simulation et Optimisation d'un Atelier de Construction Navale

peer reviewedThis study concerns the simulation of a shipbuilding workshop, and its optimization to improve its productivity. Usually, simulation is used to improve efficiency but this optimization is often done manually, particularly for shipbuilding workshop. This is due to the particularity of pieces to be manufactured: almost each of them is different and required thus particular operations. The automation is not so much present as, for example, in automotive industry. In spite of high CPU time for that kind of simulation, we will try to use optimization methods to improve productivity. Algorithm used is a genetic algorithm
