Cell Layout of Aircraft Assembly System Based on Sequence Pair

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper aims to investigate the cell layout problem of aircraft assembly system. A mathematical model for this problem is proposed, taking into account the integration design of cell layout and logistics network. The means of logistics transportation are divided into horizontal transportation and space transportation, meanwhile, the logistics transportation route is calculated. Based on sequence pair, the presentation of solution structure for cell layout is put forward, and the solution structure is solved using simulated annealing algorithm. This method is applied successfully to the assembly cell layout of the fuselage-wing assembly system for a giant aircraft, and the result shows its feasibility and effectiveness.
