Designing a Cellular Manufacturing System: A Materials Flow Approach Based on Operation Sequences By Asoo J. Vakharia Urban Wemmerl?v Presented by Nuriye Kaptanlar 17/03/2003 Subject… Cell formation method integrating: * cell formation * within cell material flows Part families cells (operation sequence) Within cell M/C sequence and M/C loads Design of Cellular Manufacturing Systems Selection of part families and grouping of parts into families Selection of M/C and process populations and grouping of these into cells Selection of tools, fixtures and pallets Selection of material handling equipment Choice of equipment layout SIMULTANEOUSLY [Prof. Selim Aktürk] Advantages/Disadvantages of Cellular Manufacturing Advantages: Reduce material handling Reduce tooling Reduced set-up times Reduced expediting Reduced in-process inventory Reduced pert makespan Improved human relations Improved operator expertise Evaluation of Cell Design Decisions Equipment and tooling investment (low) Equipment relocation cost (low) Inter- and intracell material-handling costs (low) Floor space requirements (low) Extent to which parts are completed in a cell (high) Flexibility (high) Production and scheduling related costs (low) [Prof. Selim Aktürk] Assign Machines to Groups Production Flow Analysis Binary Ordering Algorithm Single-Pass Heuristic Similarity Coefficients Graph Partitioning Assign Parts to Machines [Prof. Selim Aktürk] Objectives Constraints Cell Independence * primary objective Objectives Constraints Cell flexibility Internal routing flexibility External routing flexibility Process flexibility Cell system layout (incomplete independence) Objectives Constraints Cell flexibility Internal routing flexibility Ex
