To solve this problem two algorithms are proposed: traditional non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) and knowledge-based non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (KBNSGA-II). The difference between these algorithms is that, KBNSGA-II has an additional learning module. Finally, we draw an analogy between the results obtained from algorithms applied to various test problems. The superiority of our KBNSGA-II, based on set coverage and mean ideal distance metrics, is inferred from results.}, keywords = {Multi-Objective Optimization,non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm,Knowledge based algorithm,Virtual manufacturing cells,Job scheduling}, url = {https://jiems.icms.ac.ir/article_41227.html}, eprint = {https://jiems.icms.ac.ir/article_41227_f883274f16ee4734d6fc9a15cd405e74.pdf} }
