Cellular manufacturing system (CMS) is highly important in modern manufacturing methods. Given the ever increasing market competition in terms of time and cost of manufacturing, we need models to decrease the cost and time of manufacturing. In this study, CMS is considered in condition of dynamic demand in each period. The model is developed for facing dynamic demand that increases the cost of ...

Abstract. Wind plant layout optimization is a difficult, complex problem with large number of variables and many local minima. Layout only becomes more difficult the addition solar generation. In this paper, we propose parameterized approach to wind hybrid power that greatly reduces dimensionality while guaranteeing generated layouts have desirable regular structure. Thus far, research has focu...

Abstract. We initiate a new problem of automatic metro map layout. In general, a metro map consists of a set of lines which have intersections or overlaps. We define a set of aesthetic criteria for good metro map layouts and present a method to produce such layouts automatically. Our method uses a variation of the spring algorithm with a suitable preprocessing step. The experimental results wit...

This research explores the double row layout problem (DRLP) that deals with how to place departments or machines on both sides of a central corridor. This type of layout problem is commonly observed in production and service facilities. Over the last 40 years, researchers have extensively studied a similar problem called the single row layout problem (SRLP) or one dimensional space allocation p...

Due to the lack of technology, post-evaluation system spatial syntax has limitations inexperience, 3D vision and problems prediction. The paper focuses on: (1) combined with layout evaluation case Nanning No.2 Middle School, application dynamic in process is refined, rationality verified; (2) sDNA GIS, a isovist model built expand 3D; (3) simulation integrated into solve problem feedback space,...

  This paper deals with the cellular manufacturing system (CMS) that is based on group technology concepts. CMS is defined as identifying the similar parts that are processed on the same machines and then grouping them as a cell. The most proposed models for solving CMS are focused on cell formation problem while machine layout is considered in few papers. This paper addresses a mathematical mo...
