A Robust Model for a Dynamic Cellular Manufacturing System with Production Planning

Integrated Dynamic Cellular Manufacturing Systems and Hierarchical Production Planning with Worker Assignment and Stochastic Demand

“…Production planning is a novel topic studied by many researchers for different industries [8][9][10]. Many studies in the literature assume that in the planning period, demand is constant.…”

Reactive Scheduling Addressing Unexpected Disturbance in Cellular Manufacturing Systems

“…The objective function (2) minimizes the total number of displacement machines in the reactive plan as compared to that in the initial plan. Constraints (3) and (4) show that the completion times of operations, the processing of which has started before the occurrence of the disturbance, do not change in the reactive plan. Constraint (5) indicates that each machine should be allocated maximally to one cell.…”

“…Some of the important benefits of CMSs are that they can simplify and reduce material transportation, reduce material flow in manufacturing, reduce setup and production time and costs, improve production control, and increase flexibility. The process of CMS design consists of four main steps: (1) cell formation (CF) (e.g., Sakhaii et al [3] and Soolaki and Arkat [4]), (2) cellular layout (e.g., Arkat et al [5] and Rahimi et al [6]), (3) cellular scheduling (Arkat and Ghahve [7]), and (4) resource assignment (e.g., Mehdizadeh and Rahimi [8] and Bagheri et al [9]).…”
