<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable the conveying order of articles to be decided in a short time regardless of the number of the articles in the conveying order to be generated. SOLUTION: When the conveying order is decided in a manufacturing device having a conveying means and a working means, a means 21 to input a known conveying order to a parallel computer to carry out a genetic algorithm as one of initial solution, and a program to carry out the genetic algorithm on the parallel computer, stores the initial conveying order into a conveying order preserver 24, and the result of a crossover operation carried out in a crossover operation part 25 by making the initial conveying order as an input is stored again in the conveying order preserver 24, so as to carry out the totalization and the selection of the preserved conveying order in a selection and totalization execution part 26. In this case, the selection and totalization operations of a crossover operation by plural conveying orders, and a crossover operation by only a single conveying order, are carried out at a time and in parallel in the parallel computer, so as to reduce the deciding time.</p> |
