“…From a system designer's point of view, it is very desirable to obtain a set of non-dominated solutions providing the flexibility of reconfigurable manufacturing via simultaneously considering all the objectives. Recently, some approaches [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] have been proposed to deal with MOOPs in production planning. They can be classified into two categories:…”

“…Lee et al [6] proposed a two-stage approach to solving an operation sequence and tool selection problem. (2) Preference-based approach [7][8][9]. Given relative preferences to each individual objective, the preferencebased approach generally combines multiple objectives into a single objective function using a weighted linear combination of all objectives, and then a single-objective optimization algorithm is used to find a single solution at a time.…”

Global competition, advancements in technology and ever changing customers' demand have made the manufacturing companies to realize the importance of flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). These organizations are looking at FMS as a viable alternative to enhance their competitive edge. But, implementation of this universally accepted and challenging technology is not an easy task. A large number of articles have been reviewed and it is found that the existing literature lacks in providing a clear picture about the implementation of FMS. In this paper, work of various researchers has been studied and it is found that it is really a very difficult task for any organization to transform into FMS on the basis of existing research results. A wide gap exists between the proposed approaches/algorithms for the design of different components of FMS and the real-life complexities. Besides describing the gap in various issues related to FMS, some barriers, which inhibit the adaptation and implementation of

“…The tool management problem has been studied by Bard [4], Tang and Denardo [12], Crama et al [5] and Sodhi et aL [10], to minimize the number of tool switches due to a change in part mix. These studies assume constant processing times and tool lives, even though the tool wear can have a significant impact on the tool replacement frequency as stated by Gray et al [6] and Sarin and Chen [9].…”

Scope and Purlmse---An effective tool management is a major requirement for the implementation of a flexible manufacturing system (FMS), hence the computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools. A new solution methodology to the tool management problem is proposed in connection with the tool magazine arrangement and operations sequencing decisions, where there can be alternative tools for each operation. The proposed approach not only improves the overall solution in terms of the total manufacturing cost, but also prevents any infeasibility that might occur at the system level due to tool management constraints through a feedback mechanism.Abstract--A two-phase approach is developed to solve the tool magazine arrangement and operations sequencing problems. The overall aim is to minimize the total manufacturing cost by utilizing the benefits of tool sharing concept and loading duplicate tools due to a possible decrease in tooling and tool operating costs while maintaining the feasibility in terms of precedence, tool magazine capacity, tool life covering and tool availability constraints due to tool contention among the operations for a limited number of tool types, because the absence of such crucial constraints may lead to infeasible results. Furthermore, the proposed approach can provide an effective decision making tool for the short term operational decisions of FMS.
