Designing a mathematical model for dynamic cellular manufacturing systems considering production planning and worker assignment. (English) Zbl 1201.90120

Summary: Since workers have an important role in doing jobs on machines, assignment of workers to cells becomes a crucial factor for full utilization of cellular manufacturing systems. This paper presents an integer mathematical programming model for the design of cellular manufacturing systems in a dynamic environment. The advantages of the proposed model are as follows: considering multi-period production planning, dynamic system reconfiguration, duplicate machines, machine capacity, available time of workers, and worker assignment. The aim of the proposed model is to minimize holding and backorder costs, inter-cell material handling cost, machine and reconfiguration costs and hiring, firing and salary costs. Computational results are presented by solving some examples.
