It was developed a Scientific paper within the scope of the INFOS CONNECT@FASHION R&D project. The paper was written by CCG1 researchers, Rui Ribeiro and Andre Pillastri, and proposes an Intelligent Decision Support System (IDSS) that combines forecasting and optimisation for production planning. This paper is based on the developments made by CCG for INFOS with the objective of assisting decision-makers in the planning and selection of subcontractors for the outsourcing of ITV production process operations.
The system uses an Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) approach to firstly focus on four predictive tasks that are crucial for estimating production planning indicators, and then, using historical data and these same indicators, to study and suggest the best subcontractor allocation plan, utilising an (NSGA-II) algorithm of Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimisation (EMO), in order to minimise production time, risk, and cost.
