“…Thus, we do without describing such models but refer to Scholl (1999, Chapter 2.2.1.2) where different models are presented. Moreover, see Ugurdag et al (1997), Pinnoi and Wilhelm (1997a), Bockmayr and Pisaruk (2001), and Peeters and Degraeve (this issue).…”

“…The SALBP consists in assigning a set of operations to identical consecutive stations minimizing the number of stations required, subject to precedence constraints between operations and cycle time constraints. Many exact and heuristic approaches for SALBP were suggested in literature: Lagrange relaxation techniques [8], Branch and Bound algorithms [7,9,10], and heuristics and meta-heuristics [11][12][13]. This list is not exhaustive.…”

Abstract. In this paper, we present a decision support tool (DSS) for preliminary design of transfer machines with rotary or mobile tables. In these transfer machines, the machining operations are executed on working positions equipped by standard multi-spindle heads. A part is sequentially machined on m working positions and is moved from one position to the next using a rotary or a mobile table. The operations are grouped into blocks, where the operations of the same block are simultaneously performed by one multi-spindle head. At the preliminary design stage, the goal is to select the number of working positions and to decide which spindle heads will be installed minimizing the machine cost while respecting a given production rate. The paper presents the overall approach and depicts mathematical and decisionsupport methods developed and implemented in a software for the optimization of preliminary design (or reconfiguration) of such machining systems.

“…The SALBP consists in assigning a set of operations to identical consecutive stations minimizing the number of stations required, subject to precedence (between operations) and cycle time constraints. The principal approaches used in the literature for SALBP are: Lagrange relaxation techniques (Aghezzaf and Artiba, 1995), Branch and Bound algorithms, see for example (van Assche and Herroelen, 1979;Ugurdag et al, 1997;Scholl and Klein, 1998), heuristics and meta-heuristics (Arcus, 1966;Helgeson and Birnie, 1961;Rekiek et al, 2001). A state-of-the-art is presented in Baybars (1986), Becker and Scholl (2006), Erel and Sarin (1998), Ghosh and Gagnon (1989) and Rekiek et al (2002).…”
