| Abstract: | It is shown in the literature that in highly volatile manufacturing environments functional job shops and classical cellular manufacturing systems do not perform well. Classical cellular manufacturing systems are very sensitive to changing production requirements due to their limited flexibility. In order to adapt cellular manufacturing systems to volatile manufacturing environments, the virtual cellular manufacturing concept was proposed in the 1980s by the National Bureau of Standards in USA. This concept is similar to group technology where job families are processed in manufacturing cells. The main difference between a virtual cell and the classic cell is in the dynamic nature of the virtual manufacturing cell; whereas the physical location and identity of classic cell is fixed, the virtual cell is not fixed and will vary with changing production requirements. The virtual manufacturing cell concept allows the flexible reconfiguration of shop floors in response to changing requirements. In the literature, the formation and scheduling process of virtual cells are clearly explained and researched in detail. However, the layout issue is not addressed entirely. Virtual cells are generally formed over functionally divided job shops. Forming virtual cells over a functional layout may adversely affect the performance of a virtual cellular manufacturing system. There is a need to search for different layout strategies in order to enhance the performance. The distributed layout approach may be a better alternative for virtual cellular manufacturing applications. In this research paper, a novel capability-based approach is proposed for the design of distributed layouts. A simulated annealing based heuristic algorithm is developed from the distributed layout. The proposed approach is tested with a problem with real data. An example is also shown in order to give an idea about the superiority of a capability-based distributed layout over the functional layouts in... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
