Health and Safety Issues in the Cloud Manufacturing Systems: A Systematic Review

Introduction: Health and safety in cloud-based manufacturing systems have become a major issue, especially with the spread of the Corona virus, putting both systems and the workforce at risk. In recent years, many journals and researchers have focused their research in this area. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to systematically review health and safety issues in cloud manufacturing sys...

Scheduling of flexible manufacturing systems using genetic algorithm: A heuristic approach

Scheduling of production in Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMSs) has been extensively investigated over the past years and it continues to attract the interest of both academic researchers and practitioners. The generation of new and modified production schedules is becoming a necessity in today’s complex manufacturing environment. Genetic algorithms are used in this paper to obtain an initial...

An Efficient Algorithm to Solve Utilization-based Model for Cellular Manufacturing Systems

The design of cellular manufacturing system (CMS) involves many structural and operational issues. One of the important CMS design steps is the formation of part families and machine cells which is called cell formation. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm to solve a new mathematical model for cell formation in cellular manufacturing systems based on cell utilization concept. The p...

Design of a New Mathematical Model for Integrated Dynamic Cellular Manufacturing Systems and Production Planning

This paper presents a new mathematical model for integrated dynamic cellular manufacturing systems and production planning that minimizes machine purchasing, intra-cell material handling, cell reconfiguration and setup costs. The presented model forms the manufacturing cells and determines the quantity of machine and movements  during each period of time. This problem is NP-hard, so a meta-heur...

The Tchebycheff Norm for Ranking DMUs in Cellular Manufacturing Systems with Assignment Worker

This paper develops an integer mathematical programming model to design the cellular manufacturing systems under data envelopment analysis. Since workers have an important role in doing jobs on machines, assignment of workers to cells becomes a crucial factor for fully utilization of cellular manufacturing systems (CMS). The aim of the proposed is to minimize backorder costs and intercellul...
