Strategic Interpolative Design of Dynamic Manufacturing Systems Layouts
提出一种主动战略方法，用于设计制造系统在扩张或收缩阶段的动态布局，通过估计成熟期需求场景、设计成熟布局，再反向插值中间布局，并给出线性规划模型以生成最优布局。
This paper presents a proactive strategic methodology for designing dynamic layouts for the expansion (or decline) phase of manufacturing systems. The methodology first estimates probable scenarios of the system requirements at its maturity level, strategically designs mature layouts given the set of scenarios, then tactically interpolates intermediate layouts, backward to the initial facilities plan. For manufacturing systems with rigid facilities, the paper provides a linear programming model sustaining this proactive strategic methodology. The model efficiently generates optimal layouts for all intermediate expansion phases given a goal layout for the final mature phase of the expansion plan, the phased cell sets, the phased flow and relationships sets, and various design constraints, for an array of objectives.
