Analysis of Lagrangian lower bounds for a graph partitioning problem
(Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), 1999)Recently, Ahmadi and Tang (1991) demonstrated how various manufacturing problems can be modeled and solved as graph partitioning problems. They use Lagrangian relaxation of two different mixed integer programming formulations ... -
Cellular manufacturing system design using a holonistic approach
(Taylor & Francis, 2000)We propose an integrated algorithm that will solve the part-family and machine-cell formation problem by simultaneously considering the within-cell layout problem. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that ... -
Dynamic lot sizing and scheduling in cellular manufacturing systems using hybrid simulation analytic model
(International Journal of Industrial Engineering, 1995)In most of the production systems, lot-sizing and scheduling decisions are made at different levels of hierarchy; although there is a strong interaction between these decisions. Furthermore, most of the existing models do ... -
A hierarchical model for the cell loading problem of cellular manufacturing systems
(Taylor & Francis, 1998)A hierarchical cell loading approach is proposed to solve the production planning problem in cellular manufacturing systems. Our aim is to minimize the variable cost of production subject to production and inventory balance ... -
A multi-family dynamic lot sizing problem with coordinated replenishments: a heuristic procedure
(Taylor & Francis, 1993)Consider a manufacturing environment where multiple items are produced. These products are grouped into families due to their similarities in design and manufacturing. It pays off to coordinate the manufacture of products ...
