Analysis of assembly systems for interdeparture time variability and throughput
(Taylor & Francis, 2002)This paper studies the effect of the number of component stations (parallelism), work transfer, processing time distributions, buffers and buffer allocation schemes on throughput and interdeparture time variability of ... -
Assembly line balancing using genetic algorithms
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2000)Assembly Line Balancing (ALB) is one of the important problems of production/operations management area. As small improvements in the performance of the system can lead to significant monetary consequences, it is of utmost ... -
Dynamic dispatching algorithm for scheduling machines and automated guided vehicles in a flexible manufacturing system
(Taylor & Francis, 1992)In this paper, an on-line dispatching algorithm is proposed for the FMS scheduling problem. The algorithm uses various priority schemes and relevant information concerning the load of the system and the status of jobs in ... -
An integrated process planning approach for CNC machine tools
(Springer-Verlag, 1996)In view of the high investment and tooling cost of a CNC machining centre, the cutting and idle times should be optimised by considering the tool consumption and the non-machining time cost components. In this paper, we ... -
A note on the within-cell layout problem based on operation sequences
(Taylor & Francis, 1996)The existing studies in the literature usually ignore the within-cell layout problem while forming part families and manufacturing cells. A new approach is proposed to solve the part-family and machine-cell formation problem ...
