Scheduling identical parallel machines with tooling constraints
2017, European Journal of Operational ResearchCitation Excerpt :Gray, Seidmann, and Stecke (1993) suggested an integrated conceptual framework for resource planning in order to avoid underutilization of the system. On a related note, Mohamed and Bernardo (1997) claimed that an inadequate number of tools contributes to a decrease in FMS productivity. The problem of optimizing the insertions and removals of tools in flexible manufacturing machines was tackled predominantly by heuristic methods.
A constraint programming approach to tool allocation and production scheduling in flexible manufacturing systems
2010, Robotics and Computer-Integrated ManufacturingCitation Excerpt :Veeramani et al. [2], Gray et al. [3], and Atan and Pandit [4] have pointed out that the lack of proper attention to tool planning and allocation problems can lead to underutilization of the system. In addition, Mohamed and Bernardo [5] emphasized that an inadequate number of tools results in low machine utilization and an unacceptable level of downtime, leading to decreased FMS productivity. Therefore, both problems, tool planning and allocation, are critical issues associated with the scheduling problem.
A constraint programming model for the scheduling of flexible manufacturing systems with machine and tool limitations
2010, Engineering Applications of Artificial IntelligenceCitation Excerpt :In addition, FMS-scheduling problems are strongly affected by the number of tool copies at hand. Veeramani et al. (1992) and Mohamed and Bernardo (1997) emphasized that the lack of proper attention to this number can prevent manufacturing systems from achieving their maximum flexibility and may result in an unacceptable level of downtime, leading to a reduced FMS productivity. Thus, the tool planning subproblem, which determines the required number of tool copies to achieve the production requirements, is another critical issue associated with the problem.
