چکیده

The flow shop production system has attracted a lot of attention in research, and many researchers have conducted research to optimize flow shop production systems. The important point is to correctly assign activities to each machine in order to minimize the time to complete all activities. In the present study, a model for optimizing the number of human activities in a flow shop production system is presented, which is based on a two-objective model. The result of solving the model shows that the mathematical model has a very good ability to solve the problem in small dimensions. The gap between the results of the deterministic solution and the metaheuristic model has been reported to be zero percent. However, considering that in small and medium problems, the gap between the mathematical model and the metaheuristic model was negligible, the results presented are reliable by relying on the results calculated according to the metaheuristic model.
