Tool allocation in flexible manufacturing systems with tool alternatives

Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing, 2004
Abstract In this paper, a heuristic approach for tool selection in flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) is presented. The proposed approach utilizes the ratio of tool life over tool size (L/S) for tool selection and allocation. The proposed method selects tool types with high L/S ratios by considering tool alternatives for the operations assigned to ...

Tool Machine Allocation Problem in a Cellular Manufacturing System

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1997
Abstract In this paper the tool allocation problem of a flexible manufacturing system is discussed. Two algorithms are developed and compared with one another in the presence of the “part move” strategy which moves the item to the workstation having the necessary tooling. The tools can not be shared between the machines.

Capacity and tool allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 2006
This study addresses an allocation problem that arises in the semiconductor industry and flexible manufacturing systems where the tools should be loaded on computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines to process a number of operations. The time and tool magazine capacities of the CNC machines and the number of available tools of each type are limited ...

Tool allocation and machining conditions optimization for CNC machines [PDF]

European Journal of Operational Research, 1996
In the literature, there exist many variations of machining economics problem in terms of modelling approaches and solution methodologies. However most of the existing studies focus on the single machining operation which is seldom in practice.

A flexible operating tool to provide an efficient project's staffing and resource allocation

International Journal of Project Organisation and Management, 2021
Resource allocation is paramount for the success of complex projects; many allocation and staffing models have been proposed in the literature, but none of them has found its way into practice yet. Hence, we propose a tool to provide an efficient project'

An Analytic Decision Support Tool for Resident Allocation

Journal of Surgical Education, 2013
Moving residents through an academic residency program is complicated by a number of factors. Across all residency programs the percentage of residents that leave for any reason is between 3.4% and 3.8%.(1) There are a number of residents that participate in research.

Research Environment for Data Analysis Tool Allocators

Applied Intelligence, 1999
Intelligent data analysis implies the reasoned application of autonomous or semi-autonomous tools to data sets drawn from problem domains. Automation of this process of reasoning about analysis (based on factors such as available computational resources, cost of analysis, risk of failure, lessons learned from past errors, and tentative structural ...

Methodology for resource allocation in the tool and die industry

2014 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management, 2014
The effects of globalization have caused a continuous increase of competition intensity within the tool and die industry. Thus European tool shops have access to emerging markets but in the same time they have to face new competitors with lower factor costs. Furthermore customer requirements have changed.

PIMPA: A Tool for oPtImal Measurement Probes Allocation

IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, 2014
The magnetic diagnostic system plays a crucial role in a Tokamak reactor and, more generally, in any magnetically confined fusion device. Indeed, all the essential quantities for plasma control are computed by a number of processing nodes, starting from the magnetic fluxes and fields acquired by this diagnostic system.

An improved model for the oPtImal Measurement Probes Allocation tool

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2015
Abstract The oPtImal Measurement Probes Allocation (PIMPA) tool has been recently proposed in [1] to maximize the reliability of a tokamak diagnostic system against the failure of one or more of the processing nodes. PIMPA is based on the solution of integer linear programming (ILP) problems, and it minimizes the effect of the failure of a data ...
