Abstract
The problem of part routing and scheduling in flexible manufacturing systems is considered with the goal of increasing the throughput. The flexible system considered is strongly characterized by the inclusion of assembly among the manufacturing operations to be performed on a mix of part batches. In particular, the logic structure of some basic decision problems is indicated through a set of combinatorial models. Two basic assembly problems characterized by batches of large and small size, respectively, are analyzedKeywords
