OF THE PHD THESIS Researches on the design and management of manufacturing systems Ciprian CRISTEA Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania The PhD thesis is being structured on seven chapters. Each one of them begins with a set of objectives and it ends with the conclusions. Chapter 1 makes an introduction in the problem of manufacturing and contains an evolution of the manufacturing conce...

this article addresses a single row facility layout problem where the objective is to optimize the arrangement of some rectangular facilities with different dimensions on a line. regarding the np-hard nature of the considered problem, a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm based on simulated annealing has been proposed to obtain a near optimal solution. a number of test problems are randomly generat...

Flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is the one, which can be changed or adapted quickly to manufacture different components or products at different volumes of product. Flexible manufacturing system includes – a set of flexible machines, an automatic transport system and a sophisticated database with decision support system, to decide at each instant what is to be done on which machine. The obj...

To meet the customized requirements of customers is core orientation to achieve transition from production-centered manufacturing service-centered manufacturing. As an important part smart systems in production and operation level dominated by material flow, flexible (FMS) have make several transitions such as incorporating procedures, containing products, meeting requirements. existing researc...
