... that utilize multiple cutting tools whose motions are independent). Parallel machine tools are being utilized more and more to increase operation productivity, increase part quality by decreasing setups, and reduce floor space. particle swarm optimisation search problems turning (machining...

... assignment problem becomes a search problem of finding the priority that can produce the maximum system value within that period. Furthermore, the system value at the beginning of the first job depends only on the part distribution at that moment, and is not related to any assigned priority. Simulation...
