Abstract
With the rise of Industry 4.0 an era of real-time global connectivity between customers and the processes that transform consumer goods is imminent. Faced with the need to satisfy the current dynamic demand, the Japanese technology industry has developed an innovative production system called seru, which is distinguished by its satisfactory results in economic and environmental terms. This study poses a production planning problem in a seru production system considering heterogeneous workers and the energy consumption of production. To solve it, a multi-objective mathematical model is proposed in order to balance the production time between workers (intra-seru) and between serus (inter-seru) and minimize the total energy consumption. For larger instances, a metaheuristic algorithm is developed based on the evolutionary algorithm NSGA-II. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed genetic algorithm is evaluated by comparing the area under the curve obtained with the solutions of the pareto frontier that it generates and the area under the curve from the pareto frontier of the multi-objective linear optimization model created via \(\varepsilon \) - constraint.
