Design, production planning and scheduling of Cellular Manufacturing Systems, considering dynamic and uncertain environments

单元化制造系统(CMS)是运筹学和运筹学领域的一个重要研究课题。CMS被认为是成组技术的主要应用之一，它涉及根据产品在设计或制造操作上的相似性将产品分组到产品族或零件族中，以便在称为制造单元的专用机器组中进行处理(Ham等人，1985年；伊朗，1999年)。因此，CMS的实施带来了与机器安装时间、材料处理、在制品库存和空间利用率相关的成本降低的好处，以及在生产时间和产品质量方面的改进(Burbitge，1975；Gallagher&Knight，1986；Ham等人，1985；伊朗，1999；Wemmerlöv&Hyer，1989)。这些好处使CMS成为先进生产系统中的基本生产要素，例如即时生产、计算机辅助制造系统和柔性制造系统，因为激烈的竞争、更短的产品生命周期和不同的客户需求是当今市场的一些特征(Ahkioon等人，2009b)

Cellular manufacturing system (CMS) is a major key topic in operations management and operations research literature. CMS is considered as one of the main applications of group technology, which involves grouping products into product families or part families, according to their similarities in design or manufacturing operations, to be processed in groups of dedicated machines called manufacturing cells (Ham et al., 1985; Irani, 1999). Thus, the implementation of CMS provides the benefits of reduced costs related to setup times of machines, material handling, work-in-process inventory and space utilisation, as well as improvements in throughput time and quality of products (Burbidge, 1975; Gallagher & Knight, 1986; Ham et al., 1985; Irani, 1999; Wemmerlöv & Hyer, 1989). These benefits make CMS a fundamental production element in advanced production systems such as just-in-time production, computer-aided manufacturing systems and flexible manufacturing systems, among others, since fierce competition, shorter product life-cycles and varying customer demands are some of the characteristics of today's markets (Ahkioon et al., 2009b)
