ArticleAbstract
Optimization is challenging even after numerous multi-objective evolutionary algorithms have been developed. Most of the multi-objective evolutionary algorithms failed to find out the best solutions spread and took more fitness evolution value to find the best solution. This article proposes an extended version of a multi-objective group counseling optimizer called MOGCO-II. The proposed algorithm is compared with MOGCO, MOPSO, MOCLPSO, and NSGA-II using the well-known benchmark problem such as Zitzler Deb Thieler (ZDT) function. The experiments show that the proposed algorithm generates a better solution than the other algorithms. The proposed algorithm also takes less fitness evolution value to find the optimal Pareto front. Moreover, the textile dyeing industry needs a large amount of fresh water for the dyeing process. After the dyeing process, the textile dyeing industry discharges a massive amount of polluted water, which leads to serious environmental problems. Hence, we proposed a MOGCO-II based optimization scheduling model to reduce freshwater consumption in the textile dyeing industry. The results show that the optimization scheduling model reduces freshwater consumption in the textile dyeing industry by up to 35% compared to manual scheduling.
