- Abstract
This paper addresses the dynamic cell formation problem (DCF). In dynamic environment, the product demand and mix changes in each period of a multiperiod planning horizon. It causes need of reconfiguration of cells to respond to the product demand and mix change in each period. This paper proposes a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model to design the dynamic cellular manufacturing systems (DCMSs) under dynamic environment. The proposed model, to the best of the author's knowledge, is the most comprehensive model to date with more integrated approach to the DCMSs. The proposed DCMS model integrates concurrently the important manufacturing attributes in existing models in a single model such as machine breakdown effect in terms of machine repair cost effect and production time loss cost effect to incorporate reliability modeling; production planning in terms of part inventory holding, part internal production cost, and part outsourcing; process batch size; transfer batch size for intracell travel; transfer batch size for intercell travel; lot splitting; alternative process plan, and routing and sequence of operation; multiple copies of identical copies; machine capacity, cutting tooling requirements, work load balancing, and machine in different cells constraint; machine in same cell constraint; and machine procurements and multiple period dynamic cell reconfiguration. Further, the objective of the proposed model is to minimize the sum of various costs such as intracell movement costs; intercell movement costs and machine procurement costs; setup cost; cutting tool consumption costs; machine operation costs; production planning-related costs such as internal part production cost, part holding costs, and subcontracting costs; system reconfiguration costs; and machine breakdown repair cost, production time loss cost due to machine breakdown, machine maintenance overheads, etc. ,in an integrated manner. Nonlinear terms of objective functions are transformed into linear terms to make mixed-integer linear programming model. The proposed model has been demonstrated with several problems, and results have been presented accordingly.
