Quality Evaluation in Flexible Manufacturing Systems: A Markovian Approach
The flexible manufacturing system (FMS) has attracted substantial amount of research effort during the last twenty years. Most of the studies address the issues of flexibility, productivity, cost, and so forth. The impact of flexible lines on product quality is less studied. This paper intends to address this issue by applying a Markov model to evaluate quality performance of a flexible manufac...
متن کاملImproving Quality in Flexible Manufacturing Systems: A Systems Approach
In this paper, a Markov chain model is introduced to study quality in flexible manufacturing systems with batch productions. To improve the quality performance in such systems, we introduce the notions of quality improvability and bottleneck sequence. A flexible system is improvable in terms of quality with respect to sequencing if there exists another sequence which renders better quality. In ...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of cellular flexible manufacturing systems: A decomposition approach
In a cellular flexible manufacturing system, a majority of the part types manufactured by the system require machining in a single cell only. However, a few part types (called rare parts) need processing in two or more cells. It is precisely the intercell movement of these rare parts that leads to weak interaction among the otherwise independent cells. We show how this structure can be exploite...
متن کاملScheduling of flexible manufacturing systems using genetic algorithm: A heuristic approach
Scheduling of production in Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMSs) has been extensively investigated over the past years and it continues to attract the interest of both academic researchers and practitioners. The generation of new and modified production schedules is becoming a necessity in today’s complex manufacturing environment. Genetic algorithms are used in this paper to obtain an initial...
متن کاملFlexible Manufacturing Systems and Quantitative Anlysis of Flexible Manufacturing Systems
A flexible manufacturing system is a high automated GT machine cell, consisting of a group of processing workstations (usually CNC machine tools), interconnected by an automated material handling and storage system, and controlled by a distributed computer system. The reason the FMS is called flexible is that it is capable of processing a variety of diffrent part styles simultaneously at the va...
