Location of Transit Point and Guide Direction of Loops in the Tandem Configuration Manufacturing System

직렬구조 제조시스템에서 전달점의 위치와 루프의 이동방향

This paper concerns the location of the transit point between adjacent loops and guide direction of loops in the tandem configuration manufacturing system. The tandem configuration has been used to solve control problems like the vehicle dispatching and traffic control. The transit point between loops needs to deliver the parts from one loop to another. The location of transit point between adjacent loops and direction of loops must be determined to minimize the total travel time of parts in the manufacturing system. The model formulation is developed, a numerical example is shown.
