The Optimal Configuration and Workload Allocation Problem in Flexible Manufacturing Systems
In this article we consider the problem of determining the minimum cost configuration (number of machines and pallets) for a flexible manufacturing system with the constraint of meeting a prespecified throughput, while simultaneously allocating the total workload among the machines (or groups of machines). Our procedure allows consideration of upper and lower bounds on the workload at each mach...
متن کاملReliability Modelling of the Redundancy Allocation Problem in the Series-parallel Systems and Determining the System Optimal Parameters
Considering the increasingly high attention to quality, promoting the reliability of products during designing process has gained significant importance. In this study, we consider one of the current models of the reliability science and propose a non-linear programming model for redundancy allocation in the series-parallel systems according to the redundancy strategy and considering the assump...
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 کاملModified immune algorithm for job selection and operation allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems
The advent of automated manufacturing systems and the variability in demand pattern have forced the manufacturers to increase the flexibility and efficiency of their automated systems to stay competitive in the dynamic market. Loading decisions play an important role in determining the efficiency of manufacturing systems. Machine loading problems in flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) are kno...
متن کاملTool allocation in flexible manufacturing systems with tool alternatives
In this paper, a heuristic approach for tool selection in flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) is presented. The proposed approach utilizes the ratio of tool life over tool size (L=S) for tool selection and allocation. The proposed method selects tool types with high L=S ratios by considering tool alternatives for the operations assigned to each machine. The performance of the method is demonst...
