Description
Summary:Agricultural product storage has a problem that need to be noticed because it has an impact in gaining the profit according to the number of products and the capacity of storage. Inappropriate combination of product causes high expenses and low profit. To solve the problem, we propose genetic algorithm (GA) as the optimization method. Although GA is good enough to solve the problem, GA not always gives an optimum result in complex search spaces because it is easy to be trapped in local optimum. Therefore, we present a hybrid real-coded genetic algorithm and Variable Neighborhood Search (HRCGA-VNS) to solve the problem. VNS is applied after reproduction process of GA to repair the offspring and improve GA exploitation capabilities in local area to get better result. The test results show that the optimal popsize of GA is 180, number of generations is 80, combination of cr and mr is 0.7 and 0.3 while optimum Kmax of VNS is 40 with number of iterations 50. Even though HRCGA-VNS need longer computational time, HRCGA-VNS has proven to provide a better result based on higher fitness value compared with classical GA and VNS.
