Performance Optimization of Reconfigurable Manufacturing Cell with Flexible Routing Capacity in Presence of Unreliable Machines

The paper is presented an approach of preventive maintenance that improves and enhances downside production efficiencies based on the non-stop maintenance. The approach focuses on reconfiguration and rerouting; besides, to prepare alternative configurations according to different reliability for each machine. In addition reliable probability of machines, there exist critical factors such as intercellular part movement, machine reallocation, machine utilization, part loading/unloading, and alternative routings that affect seriously production result. The important point that the so-great performance of my approach compared to others (e.g.machines are stopped to maintain) would be offset by the advantages in terms of flexibility and limited use of resources.There are two objectives as follows, to achieve a condition of nonstop maintenance, and to decrease drop of the performances. Furthermore, the approach meaningfully not only enhances production capabilities but also intelligently eliminate unexpected events. Finally, the impact of an approach is illustrated through a small example.
