In this study, we consider a capacity allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems. We assume time and tool magazine capacities on the Numerical Controlled (NC) machines and limited number of available tools. Our problem is to allocate the available capacity of the NC machines to the required demand of the operations, so as to maximize the total weight of operation assignments. We formulate the problem as a Mixed Integer Linear Program and show that it is NP-hard in the strong sense. We solve the moderate-sized problems optimally by the available Integer Programming software. We also develop Lagrangean relaxation based upper bounds and several heuristic procedures. Our computational results have revealed that the Lagrangean upper bounds are very close to optimal solutions and the heuristic procedures produce near optimal solutions in very small solution times even when the problem sizes are large.

Allocation and tooling decisions in flexible manufacturing systems
Özpeynirci, Selin; Azizoğlu, Meral; Department of Industrial Engineering (2007)
In this thesis, we consider a capacity allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems. We assume limited time and tool magazine capacities on the Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machines. We have a set of operations that have to be assigned to the machines and each operation requires a set of tools to be processed. Our problem is to allocate the available capacity of the CNC machines to operations and their required tools. We consider two problems in this study: maximizing the total weight of op...
A Lagrangean relaxation based approach for the capacity allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems
ÖZPEYNİRCİ, SELİN; Azizoğlu, Meral (Informa UK Limited, 2010-05-01)
This study considers the operation assignment and capacity allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems. A set of operations is selected to be processed and assigned to the machines together with their required tools. The purchase or usage of the required tools incurs a cost. The machines have scarce time and tool magazine capacities. The objective is to maximize the total weight of the assigned operations minus the total tooling costs. We use Lagrangean relaxation approach to obtain upper and lower...
Capacity allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems: branch and bound based approaches
ÖZPEYNİRCİ, SELİN; Azizoğlu, Meral (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
This study considers an operation assignment and capacity allocation problem that arises in flexible manufacturing systems. The machines have limited time and tool magazine capacities and the available tools are limited. Our objective is to maximise total weight of assigned operations. We develop a branch and bound algorithm that finds the optimal solutions and a beam search algorithm that finds high quality solutions in polynomial time.
The tools transporter movements problem in flexible manufacturing sysems
Kılınç, Fatma; Azizoğlu, Meral; Department of Industrial Engineering (2005)
In this study, we address job sequencing and tool switching problem arising in Flexible Manufacturing Systems. We consider a single machine with limited tool slots on its tool magazine. The available tool slots cannot accommodate all the tools required by all jobs, therefore tool switches between jobs are required. A single tool transporter with limited capacity is used in transporting the tools from the storage area to the machine. Our aim is to minimize the number of tool transporter movements. We provide...
Capacity and tool allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems
Bilgin, Selin; Azizoğlu, Meral (2005-12-01)
In this study, we consider capacity and tool allocation problem in flexible manufacturing environments. We assign the operations having priorities and processing requirements together with their required tools to a number of parallel machines having time and tool magazine capacities. We assume the number of available tools is limited and there is no partial operation assignments. Our aim is to maximize total weight over all assignments. We show that the problem is strongly NP-hard, and develop several appro...
