Abstract :
Deals with the problem of optimum feeding sequences in manufacturing cells with machines fed by robots. In particular a real complete problem with four machines working on two pallets each one, fed by one robot and with random assistance requirements, is introduced and analyzed. The cell has been modeled and simulation results for different feeding sequences are presented as well as a discussion about the criteria for an optimum sequence search
