The proposed solution strategy, which is based on an effective genetic algorithm, has been coded and implemented within a major Tunisian company, leader in the wood panel manufacturing. Preliminary experimental results indicate significant decrease of delivery times. }, journal = {International Journal of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering}, volume = {7}, number = {10}, year = {2013}, pages = {1990 - 1993}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/17096}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/82}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 82, 2013}, }
