Abstract :
In this paper a Record to Record Travel (RRT) metaheuristic is proposed to minimize the manufacturing batch dispersion in order to optimise traceability in food industry. Computational results on sausage manufacturing in a French food company sets show the effectiveness and the high performance of the proposed RRT approach. In comparison to the performance of previous genetic algorithm, the proposed one was found superior. Furthermore, it requires very few user-defined parameters.
