An Iterative Approach to System Setup Problems in Flexible Manufacturing Systems
System setup problems in flexible manufacturing systems deal with short-term planning problems such as part type selection, machine grouping, operation assignment, tooling, fixture and pallet allocation, and routing. In this article, we consider three of the subproblems: part type selection, machine grouping, and loading. We suggest a heuristic approach to solve the subproblems consistently wit...
متن کاملAn Optimal Preventive Maintenance Model to Enhance Availability and Reliability of Flexible Manufacturing Systems
General preventive maintenance model for the components of a system, which improves the reliability to ‘as good as new,’ was used to optimize the maintenance cost. The cost function of a maintenance policy was minimized under given availability constraint. On the other hand, in order to ensure appropriate reliability and availability, the development of the optimal maintenanc...
متن کاملA hybrid algorithm optimization approach for machine loading problem in flexible manufacturing system
The production planning problem of flexible manufacturing system (FMS) concerns with decisions that have to be made before an FMS begins to produce parts according to a given production plan during an upcoming planning horizon. The main aspect of production planning deals with machine loading problem in which selection of a subset of jobs to be manufactured and assignment of their operations to...
متن کاملA hierarchical approach to solving machine grouping and loading problems of flexible manufacturing systems
A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is an integrated system of computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools, each having an automatic tool interchange capability, and all connected by an automated material handling system. One or more computers control most real-time functions. Flexible manufacturing is realized to be an efficient alternative to conventional manufacturing that allows s...
متن کاملImproving Quality in Flexible Manufacturing Systems: A Systems Approach
In this paper, a Markov chain model is introduced to study quality in flexible manufacturing systems with batch productions. To improve the quality performance in such systems, we introduce the notions of quality improvability and bottleneck sequence. A flexible system is improvable in terms of quality with respect to sequencing if there exists another sequence which renders better quality. In ...
