An alternative formulation of the operation-allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems

Pages 1405-1412 | Published online: 04 Mar 2011
 

This paper reconsiders the formulation of the operation-allocation problem to include aspects of refixturing and limited tool availability. A comparatively simple integer programming formulation is proposed which avoids the non-linearities of a previous approach. Computational aspects of the problem are discussed and the formulation is shown to give successful results on test problems.
