New integer programming models optimize cellular manufacturing systems

This paper introduces four integer programming formulations for optimizing cellular manufacturing systems (CMS). The proposed models integrate part grouping, machine assignment, and operational routing decisions within a unified framework. This approach aims to minimize inter-cell and intra-cell movements by assigning consecutive operations to the same cell and machine, while also considering machine investment and operating costs. AI

IMPACT This research offers a novel mathematical framework for optimizing manufacturing processes, potentially leading to more efficient production systems.

    Designing Cellular Manufacturing Systems in the Presence of Alternative Process Plans

    arXiv:2411.15361v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In the design of cellular manufacturing systems (CMS), numerous technological and managerial decisions must be made at both the design and operational stages. The first step in designing a CMS involves grouping parts and machine…
