Industrial application of algorithm "Directed Searching Optimization" for solve constrained optimization problems

In this paper is presented the development of an industrial application of "Directed Searching Optimization Algorithm" (for its acronym in English DSO) in a company producing automotive electrical conduction systems. The DSO is a novel alternative newly developed to solve problems of constrained optimization. So far there's not found evidence reported in the literature of the same field, the algorithm DSO is transferred to industrial applications. The approach of industrial application of the DSO in this document is to solve a problem of minimizing cycle times, where n jobs and m machines competing for the limited resource (time). The approach used by the DSO in this industrial application is different from the original approach of the algorithm, since the industrial application requires programming integer variables where the decision variables are finished products (PT) to produce, so that optimize the use the limited resource. The results of the industrial application of the DSO have been favorable since it has provided solutions to recurrent problems of production scheduling.
