A Cell Formation Model For Manufacturing System with Sequence Dependence

가공순서에 종속적인 제조시스템을 위한 군형성모형

This paper considers the cell formation in a manufacturing environment where the setup times and costs are significantly dependent on the sequence. The trade-off between saving on the setup costs and additional investment on new machines is considered for determining the economic number of cells. Accordingly, This paper develops a mixed integer program and mentions a variety of manufacturing situations where this model can be useful. This paper also includes an illustrative example.
