Variety-oriented design of rotary production systems

Abstract

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

Decision support for design of reconfigurable rotary machining systems for family part production

“…Other optimisation problems related to the use of RMS have been also revealed in the literature, namely measurement of operational capability (Goyal, Jain, and Jain 2012), recognition of appropriate sets of part families (Goyal, Jain, and Jain 2013), integrated process planning and scheduling for RMS (Bensmaine, Dahane, and Benyoucef 2014), production planning and performance optimisation (Abbasi and Houshmand 2011). Varietyoriented design of machining systems used for batch production was considered by Battaïa et al (2015). An overview of artificial intelligence applications to the optimal design of dedicated and RMS was presented by Renzi et al (2014).…”

Integrated process planning and system configuration for mixed-model machining on rotary transfer machine

“…Tolio and Urgo (2013) have proposed a mathematical model to assess the reconfiguration cost for flexible transfer lines. Variety-oriented design of rotary machining systems used for family part production was discussed by Battaïa et al (2015).…”
