dynamic cellular manufacturing systems,   mixed-integer non-linear programming,   production planning, manufacturing attributes   this paper presents a novel mixed-integer non-linear programming model for the design of a dynamic cellular manufacturing system (dcms) based on production planning (pp) decisions and several manufacturing attributes. such an integrated dcms model with an extensive c...

in this paper, a mixed-integer linearized programming (minlp) model is presented to design a group layout (gl) of a cellular manufacturing system (cms) in a dynamic environment with considering production planning (pp) decisions. this model incorporates with an extensive coverage of important manufacturing features used in the design of cmss. there are also some features that make the presented...

this paper is in search of designing the cellular manufacturing systems (cmss) under dynamic and flexible environment. cm is proper for small-to-medium lot production environment that helps the companies to produce variable kind of productions with at least scraps. the most important benefits of cm are decline in material handling, reduction in work-in-process, reduction in set-up time, increme...

in this paper, we present a simulated annealing (sa) and a genetic algorithm (ga) based on heuristics for scheduling problem of jobs in virtual cellular manufacturing systems. a virtual manufacturing cell (vmc) is a group of resources that is dedicated to the manufacturing of a part family. although this grouping is not reflected in the physical structure of the manufacturing system, but machin...

machine-part family formation is one of major applications of group technology (gt). the machine cell formation problem in cellular manufacturing system (cms) involves the decomposition of the manufacturing system into machine cells. part families are identified such that they are fully processed within a machine cell. the problem of cell design is a very complex task with wide ranging implicat...

Nowadays, the necessity of manufacturers’ response to their customers’ needs and their fields of activities have extended widely. The cellular manufacturing systems have adopted reduced costs from mass-production systems and high flexibility from job-shop manufacturing systems, and therefore, they are very popular in modern manufacturing environments. Manufacturing systems, in addit...

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...

Clustering parts and machines into part families and machine cells is a major decision in the design of cellular manufacturing systems which is defined as cell formation. This paper presents a non-linear mixed integer programming model to design cellular manufacturing systems which assumes that the arrival rate of parts into cells and machine service rate are stochastic parameters and descri...

To cope with fast changing customer requirements, industrial demands and to meet stringent specifications of customers Cellular Manufacturing Systems has become an effective tool in hands of manufacturers. Most of the published literature on cell formation earlier considers only the data available in the route sheets and ignored subproblems associated with cell formation. There is a need to dev...

lean manufacturing is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating wastes (non-value added activities) through continuous improvement by conveying the product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of production. in a more basic term, more value with less work. since lean manufacturing eliminates many of the problems associated with poor production scheduling and line balancing, lean ma...
