A Study on Operator Allocation Problem in Cellular Manufacturing Systems

셀 생산방식 시스템에서 작업자 할당문제에 관한 연구

This paper addresses the static operator allocation problem in celluar manufacturing systems(CMS). An assembly environment is considered where each component going into the final product is manufactured in an individual cell. There are m such cells and it is required to manufacture n varieties of products where n>m. An mathematical model and two heuristic algorithms for static operators allocation to the cells to balance workload for minimizing makespan are developed and tested.
