Performance evaluation of cellular layouts: Extension to DRC system contexts
比较了功能布局与单元制造在双资源约束系统下的性能，考虑了更现实的劳动灵活性水平，并指出了单元制造优于功能布局的参数范围。
This study involves a comparison of the performance of functional layouts (FL) and cellular manufacturing (CM) systems in a dual-resource-constrained (DRC) system context. Past studies of FL and CM have been based mostly on single-resource-constrained (SRC) systems. Recent studies have included labour-related factors, but have assumed high labour flexibility levels, and shown the superiority of CM. In this study we assume more realistic levels of labour flexibility, and factors such as lot size, set-up reduction, labour assignment and transfer rule, and scheduling rules. The parameter range in which CM can outperform efficiently operated FL, in a DRC context, are indicated.
