Abstract :
Focusing on the uncertain problem of transporting sequences due to various disturbances in the handling process like the process parallelism, the division of the material and the mutual exclusion among the materials, the planning strategies for parallel process with a few of handling tools are researched. The material handling sequence model which aims to minimize the make-span is set up. Case analysis of the model is conducted with the genetic algorithm, and it is proved that the scheduling algorithm is available and correct.
