An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system for makespan estimation of flexible manufacturing system assembly shop: a case study

This paper considers the use of combination of neural networks and fuzzy system i.e. adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) applied to the n job, m machine real flexible manufacturing system assembly shop problem with the objective of prediction of makespan. Assembly shop makespan is calculated by Nawaz, Enscor, and Ham (NEH) algorithm. On the basis of this algorithm, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system model is made to predict the...
