“…the fixtures of parts are changed and some spindles are mounted or dismounted if necessary. However, few studies published in the literature on the design of rotary production systems were mostly dedicated to the mass production case [7][8][9][10][11][12]. In difference to that previous work, this paper considers the case of the production of different variants of a product family.…”

International audienceThe variety oriented design problem for rotary production systems is considered. Given the multiple parts to be produced, the problem is to determine the feasible configurations of the machining system with minimum cost. This problem is modelled as a combinatorial optimization problem. Constraints related to the design of machining units as well as to the precedence and compatibility of operations are taken into account. The optimization methods developed to solve the problem are based on its MIP formulation. An industrial example is presented

“…We assume that if a turret of type j is installed at the k-th position, then the execution time of operations from N dkjl is equal to t h (P dkj )=τ g b kj + P b kj l¼1 t b (P dkjl ), j = 1, 2, where τ g is an additional fixed time for one rotation of turret (Battaïa et al 2014). If the spindle head is installed, then t h (P dkj ) = t b (P dkj1 ), j = 1,2.…”

International audienceTo remain competitive in currently unpredictable markets, the enterprises must adapt their manufacturing systems to frequent market changes and high product variety. Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMSs) promise to offer a rapid and cost-effective response to production fluctuations under the condition that their configuration is attentively studied and optimised. This paper presents a decision support tool for designing reconfigurable machining systems to be used for family part production. The objective is to elaborate a cost-effective solution for production of several part families. This design issue is modelled as a combinatorial optimization problem. An illustrative example and computational experiments are discussed to reveal the application of the proposed methodology. Insight gained would be useful to the decision makers managing the configuration of manufacturing systems for diversified products

“…Furthermore, a machine can perform at most one operation at a time on the part loaded in its spindle (since normally it would have only one tooling unit/turret). Yet, in advanced flexible manufacturing systems, we have been having a new breed of Turn-Mill machining centers that would have multiple spindles [2,3] and multiple turrets [4]. Fig.…”
