摘要
The selection of an efficient shop layout at manufacturing level is a strategic problem, involving considerable immobilisation of financial resources. Often the problem is hierarchically solved on several levels. In the present paper we focus on the level of physical system planning and try to define the best shop configuration in terms of process resources layout (work centres organisation), considering different variability conditions for demand (system input). Data obtained from simulation experiments are being statistically analysed to clear the weak and strong points for each configuration (job shop, flexible cell shop, flow shop).
