Reconfigurable manufacturing systems
Project description
This research focuses on the tactical planning of Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMS), such as cellular and assembly systems. The aim of the research is to mathematically model the planning problem, develop computationally efficient methods to solve the problem to optimality, and evaluate economic advantages of the RMS, using data from real-life manufacturing system and products
