PT Adi Satria Abadi (ASA) is a company engaged in the processing of leather, especially sheep skin and goat skin, which is used for the manufacture of golf gloves. The problem faced by the company is the production process that exceeds the due date to other customers who order products at PT ASA. From the research, it is known that the cause is a company scheduling method that has not been organized so that the production sequence is concurrent. Selection of methods Harmony Search algorithms in scheduling are caused by delays. The Harmony Search algorithm can provide a better makespan value than the company method. The results of the company method obtain 0.9 months makespan average, the Harmony Search Algorithm method produces an average 0.8 months makespan. In addition, the use of the Harmony Search Algorithm method can reduce the average value of 0.1 months makespan. The results of the study in three months experienced time savings of 0.6 months, 0.6 months and 0.1 months respectively.


Performance of computer vision based grading systems is remarkably affected by the efficiency of object segmentation. The automatic segmentation of low contrast objects is a challenging task in various fruit and nut grading systems. In this paper background elimination of white chali arecanut images is carried out using morphological segmentation. The fine-tuning of edge threshold for morphological segmentation is achieved by obtaining threshold values from multilevel thresholding of original grayscale image. The best figure ground segmentation is selected by a network trained using shape parameters of the ground truth masks. The performance of morphological segmentation is evaluated for the best figure ground segmentations using precision, recall and F-scores. Comparison of segmentation performance is done by employing multilevel thresholding based on Otsu, Fuzzy c-mean, Harmony search, Differential Evolution and Cuckoo Search algorithms. The experimental result shows that, multilevel thresholding using Differential Evolution and Cuckoo Search algorithms yield best results for the fine-tuning of edge thresholds and hence the better segmentation performance of the white chali arecanuts
