Methods for Designing Manufacturing Systems

这项研究的目的是开发和比较不同的 设计制造系统的方法。 制造系统 设计可以被视为性能要求的映射， 在数字性能指标的帮助下， 指定可行设计的数值决策变量 溶液 在这项研究中调查的方法是新颖的两个 个方面 首先，它们针对的是各种各样的 制造系统类型（流水线，车间，蜂窝系统， 等）。 其次，它们可以适应制造系统设计 其中性能要求涉及多个 性能测量的类型（例如，生产率和平均 工作过程中），其中设计解决方案涉及多个 决策变量的类型（例如，机器数量和机器 布局和缓冲容量）。

The goal of this research is to develop and compare different methods of designing manufacturing systems. Manufacturing system design can be regarded as the mapping of performance requirements, specified with the help of numerical performance measures, onto numerical decision variables which specify a capable design solution. The methods investigated in this research are novel in two respects. First, they are targeted at a wide variety of manufacturing system types (flow lines, job shops, cellular system, etc.). Second, they can accommodate manufacturing system design problems in which the performance requirements involve multiple types of performance measures (e.g., production rate and average work in process), and in which design solutions involve multiple types of decision variables (e.g., machine quantities and machine layout and buffer capacities).//
