Abstract:
This thesis presents an innovative approach to multi-objective optimization in industrial
processes by hybridizing the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) algorithm with Grey Relational
Analysis (GRA). The study aims to enhance GWO's capability in handling complex, multi faceted optimization problems. Using MATLAB software, the hybrid algorithm's
effectiveness is evaluated against the standard GWO. The findings demonstrate improved
efficiency and accuracy in optimization tasks, highlighting the hybrid algorithm's potential in
reducing error margins and increasing convergence rates. This work's novelty lies in the
unique integration of GWO with GRA, contributing significantly to optimization algorithms'
theoretical understanding and practical applications. While promising, the study recognizes
limitations, including its focus on specific scenarios, suggesting further scalability research
and empirical validation. The enhanced GWO algorithm offers substantial practical
implications for industries reliant on optimization, promising improved decision-making and
process efficiency, thereby fostering continuous improvement and quality enhancement in
various industrial applications.
