Research of missile assembly process based on ant colony algorithm

Assembly process directly affects quality and performance of the product. In this paper, the model of the missile´s cabin is built under its structure design. According to the constrained relationship among parts, the integrated interference matrix of the missile´s cabin is defined, the digraph of the assembly relations among parts of the missile cabin is provided, and the assembly precedence relation is received. Planning processes and calculation procedure of assembly process are given based on ant colony optimization. The result shows that the algorithm is adequate to the assembly process planning of the complex cabin structure.
