Abstract
two-phase approach is developed to solve the tool magazine arrangement and operations
sequencing problems. The overall aim is to minimize the total manufacturing cost by utilizing the benefits of tool
sharing concept and loading duplicate tools due to a possible decrease in tooling and tool operating costs while
maintaining the feasibility in terms of precedence, tool magazine capacity, tool life covering and tool availability
constraints due to tool contention among the operations for a limited number of tool types, because the absence
of such crucial constraints may lead to infeasible results. Furthermore, the proposed approach can provide an
effective decision making tool for the short term operational decisions of FMS. Copyright © 1996 Elsevier
