Simulation of manufacturing cells with unreliable machines

A Benders� Decomposition Approach for Dynamic Cellular Manufacturing System in the Presence of Unreliable Machines

In order to implement the cellular manufacturing system in practice, some essential factors should be taken into account. In this paper, a new mathematical model for cellular manufacturing system considering different production factors including alternative process routings and machine reliability with stochastic arrival and service times in a dynamic environment is proposed. Also because of t...

Simulation Results on Buffer Allocation in a Continuous Flow Transfer Line with Three Unreliable Machines

Engineers designing a continuous flow production line consisting of machines and buffers in series, have to determine the optimal sizes of the intermediate buffers. When the machines operating on the product are unreliable, this dimensioning decision becomes even more difficult. This paper aims to provide some insight into the optimal sizes of intermediate buffers in a continuous flow transfer ...

Robust supervisory control policies for manufacturing systems with unreliable resources

Manufacturing practitioners and researchers have recognized the need to develop effective supervisory controllers for automated manufacturing systems. One active area of research has been developing deadlock avoidance methods for these systems. Almost all work to date has assumed that allocated resources do not fail. In this paper, we consider deadlock and blocking problems in systems with unre...
