Generating economical single-product flow-line configurations as candidates for a given demand period is a key optimization problem for reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) at both initial design and reconfiguration stages. The optimization problem addresses the questions of selecting number of workstations, number and type of machines as well as assigned operations for each workstation. Given...
The configurations of reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) change with time to provide functionality and capacity needed for every demand period. This paper presents a novel model for optimizing demand period cost (fixed plus operating) of RMS flow-line configurations. The flow-line configurations being considered include arrangement of machines (number of stages and number of parallel machines...
The modelling of reconfigurable material handling system (RMHS) plays an important role in the planning and operation of a reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS). The reconfigurable mobile robots have great advantages to perform RMS's material handling tasks in the volatile environment, where RMS layout will be frequently adjusted to fulfil the requirements of mutable production tasks. This paper...
