Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters included in this book represent the work from the US, Canada, Japan, China, India, Iran, Netherlands, Turkey, Slovakia, and Portugal. The book attempts to cover the cellular manufacturing area from various angles. In terms of solution techniques, different approaches such as heuristics, mathematical models, networks models, genetic algorithm approaches, artificial neural networks, knowledge-based algorithms, a space search algorithm, simulated annealing, fuzzy concepts, analytic hierarchy processes and simulation are included in the book. As for performance measures, most chapters target a single objective whereas some others cover multiple objectives. In terms of the complexity of the problems, the authors divide them into simpler single phase problems versus more complex problems that require multiple-phase solutions. Most of the chapters discuss deterministic problems. On the other hand, a few of the chapters focus on stochastic cases. There are many new concepts and solution approaches covered in this book. The details of the material coverage is listed in the following paragraphs. The book starts with the evolution of cellular manufacturing. In terms of design-related issues, it covers the application of math modeling for cell formation, family and subfamily formation, production system selection, formation and evaluation of design alternatives, machine layout, dynamic cells, virtual cells, cell formation considering alternative routes, remainder cells, cell formation with product of life cycle considerations, demand-variability based cell formation, layered cellular design, assembly cells and a recent Japanese proposition called SERU cells. All types of cells, namely labor-intensive cells, machine-intensive cells and robotic cells are covered in the book. In terms of operational and control issues, human skills, manpower allocation, cell size determination, dispatching rules, parallel machine scheduling, flowshop scheduling, re-entrant flowshop scheduling, flexible job shop scheduling, assembly line balancing, process planning and scheduling, multiple-resource scheduling, cell loading and cell scheduling, synchronized flow, planning concepts such as period batch control, polka, Kanban, conwip and more are discussed. Cases studies include electromechanical assembly, bicycle manufacturing, igniter assembly system, jewelry manufacturing and semi-conductor industry. We believe that this book will be of value to students, researchers, academicians and practitioners. "

This book was released on 1999 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cellular Manufacturing Systems (CMS) have claimed many advantages over traditional job shop processes. Some of the advantages reported by several users of CMS are reduction in throughput time, reduction in WIP inventory, improvement in product quality, faster response time to customer orders, shorter move distances, increase in manufacturing flexibility, and greater job satisfaction. In its implementation, CMS organizes a production floor into manufacturing cells. Hence, the important issue that needs to be addressed first is the cell formation (CF) problem. CF deals with the identification of part families, machine groups, and allocation of part families and machine groups to cells or vice versa. In the past, most studies in CF have assumed that the location of a cell is known a priori and a unique route exists between two cells. However, in an actual manufacturing environment, alternative locations are available for locating each cell. Similarly, when the capacity of the material handler being used is limited, alternative routes may have to be used to move part loads between two cells. In this research, the issues dealing with alternative cell locations and alternative routes of material handling equipment are investigated. In addition, several other important factors common to CF are also considered. These include machine capacity limitations, batches of part demands, non-consecutive operations of parts, and maximum number of machines assigned to a cell. A mathematical model is first formulated to represent the research problem. The model is a binary and general integer non-linear programming model, and it belongs to the class of NP-hard problem. Therefore, a higher level heuristic algorithm, based on the concept known as tabu search, is developed to efficiently solve the problems with industry merit. Incorporating the features associated with the tabu search, resulted in developing six different versions of the heuristic solution algorithm. The six heuristics are tested on twenty small problems, and the quality of their solutions is evaluated by investing significant effort to find their optimal solutions. The evaluation shows that the heuristics are highly effective. The solutions obtained from the heuristics have average percentage deviation of less than 3% from the optimal solutions. The heuristics are also tested on their performances with medium and large problems. By using a statistical experiment that is based on randomized block design, the performance of the six heuristics is compared. Three different problem structures, ranging from 4 parts to 30 parts and from 3 locations to 9 locations are used in the experimentation. The experiment reveals that in general, the tabu search based-heuristic using fixed tabu list size and long-term memory based on minimal frequency strategy is preferred to other heuristics as the problem size increases.

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the world of manufacturing, different strategies could be followed to handle the rapidly changing consumer needs and desires in order to remain competitive, and enable their manufacturing systems to respond quickly to new demand and handle the fluctuation in demand. Since the cellular manufacturing system is an important part of the manufacturing system, a new design method, multi-stage cellular manufacturing system design, is proposed in this dissertation. Three performance measures, total number of machines, total machine cost, and %actual risk level, are utilized to evaluate the performance of the proposed design. Considering the uncertainty in the product demand and processing times, two types of the multi-stage cellular manufacturing system are studied. The first type is a deterministic multi-stage cellular manufacturing system. This type of system is propounded to improve the flexibility of the system where the possibility of adding new machines, mini-cells, and stages is existent. Based on the similarity coefficient type used to group the operations into a stage, two design methods are introduced. The first design method is the multi-stage cellular manufacturing system based on the similarity among machines. A new mathematical model is developed to group the machines into stages by maximizing the similarity coefficient among machines. The second design method is the multi-stage cellular manufacturing system based on the similarity among products. A novel heuristic algorithm and mathematical model are proposed to assign machines to stages based on the newly similarity coefficient “cumulative similarity coefficient among products”. In the two design methods, two mini-cell types, regular and flexible flowshop mini-cells, are used in a stage considering the type of products and the possibility to duplicate the machine type. Additionally, the number of stages and product families is un-predetermined and predetermined to minimize the total number of machines. The single-stage and multi-stage cellular manufacturing system performances are compared.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary fastidious companies are required to eliminate wastes and offer value-added products and services to the customers, which requirement is fulfilled by adopting the paradigm called ‘lean manufacturing’. On the other side, futuristic companies surge towards reaching the twenty-first century mission by reacting quickly in accordance with the dynamic demands of the modern customers, for which researchers have been developing a paradigm called ‘agile manufacturing’. Although various techniques and tools are applied, cohesive procedures are yet to be evolved to implement these paradigms systematically and successfully in companies. In this context, this book is evolved to address students, academics, practitioners and researchers for gaining theoretical, practical and research futuristic knowledge on lean and agile manufacturing paradigms. Organised in 18 chapters, the text opens with a historical overview of lean and agile manufacturing paradigms. It then discusses the lean manufacturing principles with their application procedures. The book comprehensively analyses the methods of implementation of lean manufacturing paradigm in both traditional and moderate organisations. It also gives an equal treatment to the implementation of agile manufacturing paradigm under four drivers such as management driver, technology driver, manufacturing strategy driver and competition driver through the adoption of appropriate agile manufacturing criteria. The book concludes with a discussion of lean and agile manufacturing paradigms from the perspectives of academia, researchers and practitioners. The text is well supported by a large number of self-test questions with their answers. A unique feature of the book is the inclusion of research avenues at the end of each chapter, which enable the readers to carry out researches on these paradigms. This book is intended for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of industrial, manufacturing, production and mechanical engineering.
