| Abstract: | Batching is necessary in intermittent production, where the facility is designed to process a variety of parts and the set-up costs between dissimilar parts are significant. With multi-mission machineries, automatic tool changers, and a random-access material handling system, a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) can process dissimilar parts concurrently with minimal set-up time/cost. When parts are batched in an FMS, they are scheduled to join different queues before they are introduced to the shop-floor. This paper investigates the problem of batching in an FMS. A linear zero-one integer programming model of the batching problem is presented. |
