Genetic distributed fuzzy (GDF) controllers are proposed for multi-part-type production line. These production systems can produce more than one part type. For these systems, "production rate" and "priority of production" for each part type is determined by production controllers. The GDF controllers have already been applied to single-part-type production systems. The methodology is illustrated and evaluated using a two-part-type production line. For these controllers, genetic algorithm (GA) is used to tune the membership functions (MFs) of GDF. The objective function of the GDF controllers minimizes the surplus level in production line. The results show that GDF controllers can improve the performance of production systems. GDF controllers show their abilities in reducing the backlog level. In production systems in which the backlog has a high penalty or is not allowed, the implementation of GDF controllers is advisable.

. The study models multi-characteristics inspection for inspection allocation problems with workstations of attribute data in serial production systems. Either 100% or 0% inspection is performed and Type I and Type II errors are considered. In addition, this study considers three possibilities of treatment of detected nonconforming units, namely, repair, rework and scrap. With the above considerations, a profit model is developed for optimally allocating inspections. Moreover, a genetic algorithm is used to solve the problem and it is proved to have much less computation time, compared with an optimization method based on complete enumeration, especially when number of workstations and characteristics becomes more.
