Abstract: The arrangement of the process sequence is one of the key technologies in CAPP system antomatically generating process diagram, is the key whether the process design is reasonable or not, is also one of the difficulties in process design. To solve this problem, this paper proposes using genetic algorithms to optimize process sequence based on process constraints and uses a housing part to vertify.The result shows that using genetic algorithms can effectively optimize the process routes and get the optimal or near-optimal routings which meet the production requirements.

Keywords: Process sequence, Genetic algorithms, CAPP, Process diagram
