In this paper, an efficient algorithm for finding an optimal deadlock-free schedules in a manufacturing system with very limited buffer is presented. This algorithm is based on the effective genetic algorithm (GA) search method, and a formal Petri net structure is introduced to detect the token player assuring deadlock-free. In order to make the scheduling strategy generated by GA meet the required constraint of deadlock-free, some results of the structure analysis of Petri net are involved as a criterion to select deadlock-free schedule from the population generated by GA. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach is illustrated by using an example.展开更多
