A model for dynamic multi-period cellular manufacturing system considering production planning with multi-functional machines

The dynamic cellular manufacturing system (DCMS) is a well-known strategy that typically improves manufacturing efficiency in dynamic and changing production environment product mix and demand usually change. The literature which relates to DCMS is reviewed. Then an integrated mixed-integer model which comprehensively investigate and analyze cell formation, intercellular and intracellular materials handling, inventory and backorder holding, considering multi-production planning with multi-functional machines where each period has different demands. An numerical example is solved using a genetic algorithm and it presents that proposed model is useful.
