Investigating flexibility and cell formation issues in a FMS
Kumar, Shailendra / Sharma, Rajiv Kumar
On the one hand this study presents an ISM modelling of 1o well accepted manufacturing flexibility dimensions. On the other hand it introduces two manufacturing cell formation heuristics in a simple and lucid manner. The heuristics have the ability to consider manufacturing flexibility and production related parameters in a simple manner. Both the heuristics are based on commonality score based clustering algorithm, however Heuristic-II has th...
