MODIFIED ARTIFICIAL IMMUNE SYSTEM FOR SINGLE ROW FACILITY LAYOUT PROBLEM

One of the main optimization algorithms currently available in the research field is an Artificial Immune System where abundant applications are using this algorithm for clustering and patter recognition processes. These algorithms are providing more effective optimized results in multi-model optimization problems than Genetic Algorithm. The necessity of optimization is more considerable in SRFL-[Single Row Facility system] used to optimize the cost and time. In this paper, MAIS – [Modified Artificial Immune System] algorithm introduced newly to overcome from existing AIS. MAIS use very small size of local search on the antibodies which can improve the algorithm efficiently. The creditability of the proposed approach is evaluated by simulations, and the results show the proposed approach provides better result compared with the standard AIS.
