Abstract

The paper presents proposition of using genetic algorithm to support organization of internal transport processes in logistics facilities. The organization of internal transport can be done through solving optimization task of scheduling internal transport process with allocation of human resources and equipment to the tasks. Internal transport process was defined and discussed as an object of organization. Precise methods of solving proposed optimization task were unable to give useful solutions according to the computational complexity of the problem, so heuristic genetic algorithm was proposed. The possible structures of chromosome representing feasible solutions, methods of generating initial population, base genetic operators: selection and inheritance, crossover, mutation and fixing of individuals were described. The main implementation difficulties, computational experiments and the scope of application of the algorithm were discussed.
