摘要
Cellular Manufacturing Systems (CMS) are a central concept in just-in-time and lean manufacturing. Although CMS are able to provide a strategic operating advantage, machine cell clusters do not remain optimal over an extended period of time. This paper presents a method for planning the evolution of the CMS over a multi-period horizon, such that the machine cell clusters are periodically reconfigured to provide good performance. The method uses the concept of fuzzy-clustering for part family generation and a mixed integer linear program for the assignment of machine resources to cells. The results show that the evolving cells are significantly more competitive than fixed configurations.
