Abstract:Decreasing defects, waste time, meeting customer demand and being adaptable are the goals of a Zero Defect Manufacturing (ZDM) strategy. Scheduling is an important tool to perform that. It should take in account buffer size allocation. In this study, a method to solve the Buffer Sizing Problem (BSP), which is NP-hard problem. The current research work focuses on finding the optimal buffer allocation using Tabu-search (TS) algorithm. The goal is to minimize buffers' sizes while maintaining a certain productivit… Show more
