Abstract
A two-stage CM productivity model is proposed. In the first stage, a 0-1 in teger programming model is developed to design CM system. In this model, pa rt families and machine cells are formed simultaneously. In the second stag e, a total productivity model for CM systems is developed to optimize the t otal productivity of manufacturing cells by further using the unutilized ma chining time available on various machines. An example problem is illustrat ed. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
