A Sequential Procedure for Manufacturing System Design
نویسنده
چکیده
Experimental design is a powerful approach to study the impact of potential variables affecting systems and provides spontaneous insight for continuous improvement possibilities. Most research in system design has focused on problems with a single characteristic or response. This paper is concerned with the application of a design method to problems with multiple characteristics. The study sequentially employs two optimum-seeking methods to design and optimize a manufacturing system. The integration between Taguchi method, which uses robust design concept to reduce the output variation, and the Response Surface Methodology (RSM), which is a combination of mathematical and statistical techniques, is introduced to optimize systems with multiple process characteristics.

Design of Manufacturing Cells with Two- Phase Model and A Heuristic Algorithm
A Two-phase model for configuring a cellular manufacturing system is proposed. In phase (I), for the first time, number of cells is considered as a decision variable. In phase (II), pursing two different objectives, one minimization of underload and the other, maximization of similarity of parts within a group, the design procedure is performed. As one cannot have these two objects together, a ...
متن کاملIntegrative Cell Formation and Layout Design in Cellular Manufacturing Systems
This paper proposes a new integrative view of manufacturing cell formation and both inter-cell and intra-cell layout problems. Cells formation and their popular bi-directional linear layout are determined simultaneously through a Dynamic Programming algorithm (with the objective of minimizing the inter-cell flow cost under a cell size constraint). This Dynamic Programming algorithm is implement...

متن کاملQuantitative Non-diagonal Regulator Design for Uncertain Multivariable System with Hard Time-domain Constraints
In this paper a non-diagonal regulator, based on the QFT method, is synthesized for an uncertain MIMO plant whose output and control signals are subjected to hard time-domain constraints. This procedure includes the design of a non-diagonal pre-controller based on a new simple approach, followed by the sequential design of a diagonal QFT controller. We present a new formulation for the latter s...

To design a group layout of a cellular manufacturing system (CMS) in a dynamic environment, a multi-objective mixed-integer non-linear programming model is developed. The model integrates cell formation, group layout and production planning (PP) as three interrelated decisions involved in the design of a CMS. This paper provides an extensive coverage of important manufacturing features u...
