Numerous design and cost parameters, combined with an endless variety of equipment types, make it difficult to choose the right order picking system (OPS). The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology to support warehouse designers in choosing the most suitable OPS. By developing a new OPS classification, we carried out an in-depth survey on over 68 distribution centres that have been recently built in Italy. The results of the critical analysis allowed developing a design methodology to choose the most suitable OPS. This methodology has been integrated in the structured procedure for OPS design, developed by Yoon and Sharp (IIE Trans 28:379–389, 1996). Finally, a numerical case study is presented to illustrate the application of the proposed design methodology. 相似文献

两种多层穿梭车系统的性能比较分析 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
物流配送中心订单响应速度的加快,对订单拣选系统提出了更高的要求。多层穿梭车系统因其柔性强、效率高等特点,近年来得到了广泛应用。多层穿梭车系统具有两种形式——基于转载车和基于环形输送线,二者均可实现货物的快速拣选,但在系统吞吐量和订单完成周期方面存在差异,致使企业决策者难以进行系统选择。基于上述原因,本文比较两种多层穿梭车系统的性能差异。建立两个系统的开环排队网络模型,然后求解系统吞吐量、订单完成周期,通过仿真验证了排队论模型的准确性,通过试验对两种系统的性能进行对比分析。结果表明,系统吞吐量与层数、巷道数相关,层数越多,巷道数越少,转载车系统相对于环线系统优势越显著;订单完成周期与层数、订单到达率相关,层数越多,订单到达率越低,转载车系统相对于环线系统越具优势。 相似文献

Under fairly special circumstances, there are some special methods that can be used to attempt to increase the production
rate of some production line systems. In this paper an attempt has been made to use the theory of constraint (TOC) approach
to identify the critical machines. Various design alternatives are considered to increase throughput of the critical machine.
This process is continued till the required throughput is achieved for the entire system. For large production line systems
this approach will be tedious and time consuming. Hence we have attempted to generalize the TOC approach by integer linear
programming (ILP) to increase the throughput. Data has been collected from an automobile ancillary manufacturing industry
to validate the model. The TOC embedded ILP has been used to increase the throughput with minimum investment. 相似文献

We consider the problem of simultaneously determining the number of machines (and/or workers), the assignment of tasks (and
related tools and components) to these machines, and the number of jobs circulating in a flexible assembly system (FAS), to
satisfy steady-state throughput requirements for a family of similar products at minimum cost. We focus on situations where
there are precedence relations among the various tasks, as is common in assembly systems. We present a framework for solving
this problem based on a heuristic decomposition approach which involves the solution of only a few types of sub-problems.
We demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the overall procedure using a number of example problems. 相似文献

Holonic Concept Based Methodology for Part Routeing on Flexible Manufacturing Systems 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
M. Lun F. F. Chen 《The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology》2000,16(7):483-490
A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is designed to achieve good productivity and low cost. The success of an FMS depends
largely on effective production scheduling and control. However, it has been found that current manufacturing scheduling and
control algorithms lack the flexibility to handle interruptions or resource breakdowns; hence, system performance drops dramatically
and abruptly when interruptions occur. This research develops a computer-simulation-based framework of FMS scheduling and
control system using the holonic concept. This framework can maintain stability and flexibility while accommodating system
disturbance, increase throughput, reduce part flow-time and work-in-process inventory, and balance workload among identical
workstations. The significance of this research is the investigation of an innovative approach to revolutionary advances of
control technologies for advanced manufacturing systems, and to the revitalisation of control and scheduling algorithms used
by existing FMSs. A case study has been provided to substantiate the effectiveness of this proposed framework. 相似文献

Design and control of an AS/RS 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Automated storage/retrieval systems (AS/RSs) are a combination of equipment and controls which automatically handle, store
and retrieve materials (components, tools, raw material and subassemblies) with great speed and accuracy. Consequently, they
are widely used in industrial companies to manage products with cost-effective utilization of time, space and equipment. This
paper presents a multi-parametric dynamic model of a product-to-picker storage system with class based storage allocation
of products. Thousands of what-if scenarios are simulated in order to measure the impact of alternative design and operating
configurations on the expected system performance and to identify the most critical factors and combinations of factors affecting
the response of the system. Class based storage proves to be a very effective way of both reducing the picking cycle time
and maximizing the throughput of the system. The rapid effectiveness of visual interactive simulation (VIS) in supporting
the design (redesign) and control of new (existing) warehouses emerges, responding to the need for flexibility which modern
companies need in order to adapt to strongly changing operating conditions quickly. 相似文献

This article evaluates the performance of flexible manufacturing systems with finite local buffers and fixed or dynamic routing rules, and addresses the optimal design or system configuration problem of maximizing the system throughput. The costs include machine cost, part (or pallet) cost, and local buffers cost. First, the system throughputs and their behaviors are considered with both queueing network analysis and simulation, and it is shown for a fixed routing model that the system throughput in the case of finite local buffers is greater than in the case of infinite local buffers. For a fixed versus dynamic routing rule, it is also found that the throughput in the former case can be close to the one in the latter case by changing the setting parameters. Next, the design problems of maximizing the system throughput are considered numerically for fixed and dynamic routing cases. Then, it is seen that better combination of design variables is a class of the monotonicity in local buffers, service rates, and routing probabilities. 相似文献

A system for supporting rapid assembly modeling of mechanical products via components with typical assembly features 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

The objective of this study is to optimize the performance of discrete production systems by integration of computer simulation, design of experiment (DOE), and Tabu search (TS). Optimizing performance of a steelmaking workshop was considered as the case of this study, but it could be used to optimize the throughput of other production system. The simulation model is built by considering all major and detailed operations and interacting systems of the workshop. The results and the structure of the integrated simulation model are verified and validated by t test. To integrate simulation outputs with DOE, decision making parameters are defined as number of machines, operators, etc. (k factors). To estimate and assess the effects of each of the factors and their two-way interactions on response variable, a complete 3 k factorial design with lower and upper limits and a center point is considered. Furthermore, response surface methodology (RSM) is used to optimize the response variable. Because a first-order model may not be adequate for the RSM, a polynomial order regression equation is developed by least square method. By steepest ascent, the local optimum is identified. However, the global optimal solution is computed by Tabu search which uses a metaheuristic approach. Previous studies use integration of DOE and simulation to find optimum alternative. This is usually conducted by RSM and steepest ascent which locates local optimum solution. However, integration of DOE and TS locates global optimum solution. 相似文献

Challenges and pressures from the growing globalisation of markets have made automotive enterprises shorten the product development
cycle time and reduce costs through the increasing use of mathematics-based tools and processes. In order to bridge the gap
between experience-based design and science-based engineering, this paper establishes a knowledge-based process planning system
to fully support auto panel die development and design automation. The framework of this novel system is proposed, and key
issues, such as knowledge acquisition, knowledge representation and knowledge-based design are described in detail. The function
model of the system is proposed to illustrate the architecture and functionality of the system. The system provides users
with just-in-time access to the appropriate knowledge and information to reduce the search burden. A practical example is
used to show the great advantage of the knowledge-based process planning system. 相似文献

Many complex mechanical products can be considered as multibody systems; 3D computer-aided design (CAD), multibody dynamics, finite element-based strength and fatigue analyses, optimization, and other CAE tools, are often used to develop this kind of product. But design is difficult and challenging because of information inconsistence among different engineering domains, and isolated information model islands exist. Lots of research are attracted to design and analysis information integration, but attentions are mainly focused on integration of CAD–finite element analysis (FEA), supporting the bottom-up design principle, while multibody dynamics analysis for analyzing global performance of a mechanical system is rarely considered, which follows the top-down design principle. In this paper, a novel multilevel system representation modeling framework for supporting both bottom-up and top-down or mixed design methods is proposed. It can integrate the product design CAD models with multibody dynamics, finite element-based strength and fatigue analyses, realizing a CAD–dynamic–FEA–fatigue analysis integration. It can also support data exchange and transfer in multidomain analyses. The framework is illustrated with a case study of a load haul dump (LHD) design using currently available software tools. Furthermore, a design case study of the working unit of the LHD is given to highlight the applicability of the modeling framework for multibody mechanical systems. It has been demonstrated that the framework can describe information exchanging and integration among CAD, FEA-based strength and fatigue analyses, and multibody dynamics analysis during a multibody mechanical product design process. 相似文献

Along with the increasing attention on the environment and resources, green design and green manufacturing has become a tendency nowadays. In order to mitigate the computational burden when solving green design problem of the complex engineering system, a variable fidelity metamodel-based analytical target cascading framework (VFATC) is developed to explore the application of variable fidelity (VF) metamodels in analytical target cascading (ATC). In this VFATC framework, a VF approximation modeling method is developed, which employs both computationally efficient simplified (low fidelity, LF) and expensively detailed (high fidelity, HF) information. To efficiently integrate the LF and HF information, kriging is enhanced to scale LF model (LFM) to HF model (HFM). Then, the scaled LFM is used as an approximation model to replace the analysis models in VFATC. The effectiveness of VFATC framework is applied into a lightweight design problem of cantilever beams and a ship design problem with the objective of oil consumption reduction. Overall results show the VFATC methods introduced in this paper provide an effective way of improving computational efficiency of multidisciplinary green design optimization problems based on complex HF simulation models. 相似文献

In parallel axis positioning systems an accuracy-throughput speed contradiction is present. The configuration is often such that the minimum number of actuators from kinematic point of view is used. The mechanical system should possess sufficient stiffness but also low mass. Structural stiffness, and hence accuracy, is obtained at the cost of mass. In intermittent motion systems the moving mass should be minimized, because it limits the attainable acceleration and thus the throughput speed. This dynamic performance barrier can be shifted with additional parallel actuators. To enhance prudence in the initial design phase, knowledge about the opportunities and limitations of parallel axis systems is required. The basic dynamical aspects of parallel axis positioning systems, with a minimum and additional number of parallel actuators, are examined for beam and plate systems. The results of the numerical models are verified with an experimental plate system. 相似文献

A system theory approach is used to design rule-based discrete-event controllers for the sequencing of jobs in manufacturing
systems. The controller is described in terms of matrix equations that are easy to implement on a personal computer. Industrial
engineering (IE) techniques and the concepts of Petri nets (PN) are included. A standard bill of materials (BOM) is used in
the first design step to make a "task sequencing matrix". Then a resource requirement matrix is constructed to add non-shared
resources and shared resources (e.g. pallets, transport robots, and material handling machines). Non-shared resources are
controlled using inner decision loops. However, shared resources require outer decision loops for dispatching and routeing
that resolve conflicts, taking into account the specified performance measures to be optimised (e.g. percentage of idle time,
throughput, etc.). Failures are simply represented as disturbance inputs, allowing design for failure recovery. The rule-based
controller design algorithm is a step-by-step procedure with repeatability and guaranteed conflict/deadlock resolution. It
shows that the closed-loop system, once designed, is equivalent to a Petri net (PN); this gives, as a by-product, an algorithm
for PN design. Furthermore, the matrix formulation allows a rigorous analysis of deadlocks in terms of circular wait and blocking,
and the resources available. 相似文献

In this paper, an optimal strategy is presented at the design stage for selection of the required local storages of the workstations and the transporter stations of a finite capacity flexible assembly line system, such that the throughput rate from the system is maximised while controlling the bottleneck problem. For this purpose, a mixed non-Markovian queueing network model is presented to model its performance, a stochastic optimisation model is provided to maximise its throughput rate, and a heuristic algorithm is developed for solving it. Finally, an example is presented and the approximation results are compared against those from a simulation study. 相似文献

In many industries, inspection data is determined to merely serve for verification and validation purposes. It is rarely used
to directly enhance the product quality because of the lack of approaches and difficulties of doing so. Given that a batch
of subassembly items have been inspected, it is sometimes more profitable to exploit the data of the measured features of
the subassemblies in order to further reduce the variation in the final assemblies so the rolled yield throughput is maximized.
This can be achieved by selectively and dynamically assembling the subassemblies so we can maximize the throughput of the
final assemblies. In this paper, we introduce and solve the dynamic throughput maximization (DTM) problem. The problem is
found to have grown substantially by increasing the size of the assembly (number of subassembly groups and number of items
in each group). Therefore, we resort to five algorithms: simple greedy sorting algorithm, two simulated annealing (SA) algorithms
and two ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms. Numerical examples have been solved to compare the performances of the proposed
algorithms. We found that our ACO algorithms generally outperform the other algorithms. 相似文献

Manufacturing of aircraft structural parts have the characteristics of complex process, large variety, small batch, and frequent change of production status. In order to shorten lead time and reduce cost, high-efficiency communication and collaboration among manufacturing departments are required. However, in the existing research literature, tool/fixture design, manufacturing simulation, and online machining process monitoring are not fully taken into account for collaboration. In order to address these challenging issues, this paper proposes a collaborative manufacturing framework based on machining features and intelligent software agents. The components of the proposed framework include a machining process planning agent, a numerical control (NC) programming agent, a simulation and verification agent, a tool/fixture design agent, a cost estimation agent, a production management agent, and an online machining process monitoring agent. Machining features are used as information carrier for communication and collaboration among these agents. This paper particularly focuses on the collaboration between tool/fixture design and NC programming, as well as the collaboration between online machining processes and related departments. The proposed approach has been implemented through a prototype system and tested in a large aircraft manufacturing enterprise with some very promising results. 相似文献
