Partitioning techniques for cellular manufacturing

摘要: Publisher Summary In this chapter, cellular manufacturing is introduced with its concepts, uses, and solution methodologies. A description of various traditional methodologies given. addition, the reasons for need to analyze group technology (GT) problem simultaneously machine assignment are discussed in chapter. The techniques that allow simultaneous more effective delivering good GT solutions. New take into consideration effect operation sequences while solving directly These results illustrate on demonstrate improvement assignment. an organizational technique seeks improve productivity by finding part-families cells form self-sufficient units production a certain amount functional autonomy easier control. Cellular (CM) application principles production. chapter details methodologies—graph-based techniques, matrix integer programming constraints considered technology. case graph representations, machines denoted nodes, connection between arcs (edges), weights number parts moving from one another. When studying problem, researchers have attempted consider several final solution. This discusses some these constraints.
