Abstract
In this paper, evolution strategies are used to synthesise optimal control policies for manufacturing systems. The evolutionary procedure is illustrated by synthesising optimal control policies for a manufacturing system previously considered in the context of genetic synthesis. The performance of evolution strategies and that of genetic algorithms are compared in detail for this system, thus indicating that the evolutionary synthesis procedure is faster than the genetic synthesis procedure
