Cell Production System Design: A Literature Review

Abstract

In a cell production system, a number of machines that differ in function are housed in the same cell. The task of these cells is to complete operations on similar parts that are in the same group. Determining the family of machine parts and cells is one of the major design problems of production cells. Cell production system design methods include clustering, graph theory, artificial intelligence, meta-heuristic, simulation, mathematical programming. This article discusses the operation of methods and research in the field of cell production system design. Methodology:To examine these methods, from 187 articles published in this field by authoritative scientific sources, based on the year of publication and the number of restrictions considered and close to reality, which are searched using the keywords of these restrictions and among them articles Various aspects of production and design problems, such as considering machine costs and cell size and process routing, have been selected simultaneously.Findings: Finally, the distribution diagram of the use of these methods and the limitations considered by their researchers, shows the use and efficiency of each of these methods. By examining them, more efficient and efficient design fields of this type of production system can be identified.Originality/Value: In this article, the literature on cell production system from 1972 to 2021 has been reviewed.

A Neutrosophic Fuzzy Programming Method to Solve a Multi-depot Vehicle Routing Model under Uncertainty during the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…According to the obtained efficient solution, it is observed that the total cost, the amount of GHG emission, and the maximu m working hours of drivers are 45305, [20,25] ~𝑈 [25,30] ~𝑈 [30,35] 𝑇 𝑘,𝑙,𝑣 , 𝑇 𝑙,c,v ~𝑈 [10,15] ~𝑈 [15,20] ~𝑈 [20,25] 𝐶 252, and 46, respectively. Therefore, Figure 2 shows the output variables of the problem based on the solution obtained from the neutrosophic fuzzy programmin g method.…”

“…The variety of this problem is so great that it is challenging and timeconsuming to classify them and express the various states in which it occurs. Since its inception in the 1960s, many extensions have been derived based on their different applications in the real world as there are now versions, such as heterogeneous type [7], simultaneous receipt and delivery [8], open type [9], and others [10].…”

“…One of the factors is the application of this issue in the real world that has made the issue of vehicle routing as one of the most important issues of combinatorial optimization and has attracted the attention of many researchers. For example, suppose that a factory can reduce the length of time, on when it takes to deliver goods to its customers or the number of its vehicles and thus its cost [10,11]. Therefore, by reducing the length of the delivery or receipt of goods, the company can provide better services to its customers by reducing the cost of goods and increasing delivery speed [12].…”

Green supply chain based on artificial intelligence of things (AIoT)

“…With the daily increase in data production on the Internet and the advent of IoT devices worldwide, artificial intelligence is emerging to provide its countless capabilities with IoT connectivity [5]. It is important to note that IoT applications require a data-driven culture of analysis.…”

The Impact of Entrepreneurial Strategy of the manufacturers on timely providing of parts for super-engine manufacturers (Case study: Saipa Megamotor Company)

“…The current component makers, who once entered this thriving industry as entrepreneurial organizations or small companies and have mainly expanded their activities, are influenced by environmental factors such as global recession, currency fluctuations, and methods of sourcing, determining and changing tastes. Customers and their habits, producer-supplier relationships, environmental issues, civil and legal laws, targeted subsidies, sanctions, political and economic relations, etc [11]. face countless opportunities and threats, which Examining these factors and determining the effects and severity of their effect will play an important role in the timely supply of parts and production in the entrepreneurship of these entrepreneurs and start-up entrepreneurs who enter this field.…”
