Abstract

Effective and accurate production planning is essential for garment manufacturers to survive in today's competitive apparel industry. Varying customer demands, shorter lifecycles and changing fashion trends are amongst the factors that make accurate production planning important. Manufacturers strive to fulfil requirements such as on-time completion, short production lead time and effective allocation of job order to specific production lines. However, effective production planning is difficult to achieve because the apparel manufacturing environment is fuzzy and dynamic. This paper suggests the use of intelligent production planning algorithms, based on fuzzy set theory, genetic algorithms (GA) and multi-objective genetic algorithms (MOGA), to achieve optimal solutions for apparel production planning.
