RE-Based Weighted Distributed Equipment Layout

Article Preview

Abstract:

Recent industry research shows that the existing layout configuration can not satisfy complex manufacturing of many production types. New layout strategy, especially distributed layout received more attention, has the potential to cope with demand interference. This paper attempts to use the method of resource element (RE) to consider equipment production capacity to design weighted distributed layout. Give a more explicit description of unique and common processing ability of devices and parts processing requirements. Considering the weights between REs and make more relevant REs adjacent, using genetic algorithm to construct RE-based weighted distributed layout, minimizing the total weighted minimum distance between REs to minimize material transportation costs.
