Abstract
In order to develop a new flexible transfer line (FTL) that links upstream process production line and downstream process production line, production engineers must decide the parts input sequence to FTL. The authors attempt to develop an off-line production simulator that assists the production engineers’ decisions. The simulator consists of if-the rules, GA and discrete simulator. The then parts of the if-then rules include rank values that indicate parts input sequence. After a number of operations, improved if-then rules are acquired. The results are confirmed to be useful by comparing with those of a statistic method. The acquired parts input sequence can be used in starting the new FTL.
