dc.description.abstract | A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is highly capital-intensive and FMS users are concerned with achieving high system utilization. The production planning function for setting up an FMS prior to production should be developed in order to make the most of the potential benefits of FMSs. We consider two production planning problems of grouping and loading a flexible flow system, which is an important subset of FMSs where the routing of parts is unidirectional. We show that considering this routing restriction as well as limited machine flexibility strongly affects both the solution techniques and the quality of the solutions. Because of the complexity of the problem, we present a heuristic approach that decomposes the original problem into three interrelated subproblems. We show that the proposed approach usually finds a near-optimum solution and is superior to an approach that exists in the literature of FMS production planning. We also introduce effective heuristic methods for two new subproblems that arise because of the unidirectional flow precedence and flexibility constraints. Computational results are reported and future research issues are discussed. | en_US |
