Aiming at the sequencing workingsteps on machining center
by taking the assistant machining time as the optimization object
a constraint model is established based on polychromatic sets theory
where the contour matrix is used to formalize the conditioned restrictions visually and comprehensively. A genetic algorithm combined with the constraint model is designed to sequence workingsteps on machining center
and the process of encoding
mutation and variation are described. The searching is among the valid solutions by searching the contour matrix
thus the searching range is reduced to ensure the solution validity
and the convergency rate is improved. An example demonstrates the efficiency of this algorithm for sequencing workingsteps on machining center.
