Abstract: Autonomous manufacturing island is a new manufacturing
structure, which has many advantages, compared to traditional
manufacturing structures. But how to build an efficient autonomous
manufacturing island often causes difficulties to manufactory managers.
That means, which kind of machine tools and how many machine tools
should be included in a autonomous manufacturing island is a big
problem. Traditional optimizing methods can’t solve the problem.
Therefore heuristic simulation optimization technique is adopted. How to
build the simulation optimization system of equipment allocation is
presented in detail, which can help manufactory managers obtain
reasonable allocation of machine tools.
Key words: Autonomous manufacturing island Equipment allocation
Heuristic simulation optimization technique Discrete event
simulation Evolutionary strategy
