Abstract

This paper extends the formulation of the operation allocation problem to include the important planning aspects of refixturing and limited tool availability. A 0–1 integer programming formulation is proposed with two objective functions and a set of realistic constraints. The computational behavior of the solution is discussed and a number of observations prompted by the solution methodology have been made.
