Abstract

Virtual cellular manufacturing (VCM) has been evolved to improve the setup efficiency of cellular manufacturing systems without hampering the flexibility of job shop systems. In a VCM, resources are grouped logically at production planning and control stage to improve flow performance and production control even for unpredictable product mix. In this work, a novel algorithm is proposed using discrete particle swarm optimisation (DPSO) technique to design virtual cells considering processing time, operation sequence, routing flexibility, machine capacity, machine flexibility and demand. A numerical example from literature is used to illustrate the proposed algorithm. Benchmark problems of different size are tested for performance measures.
