摘要:
Here a paced automobile assembly line is considered with no buffers between stations. Setup costs are incurred each time sequence of jobs switches colour in the paint shop, and utility work costs are incurred when some amount of work on a job cannot be completed within the boundary of a trim station. Although there has been a concerted effort to reduce setup costs, the nature of the changeovers makes it difficult to reduce to zero. Thus, there is a need for procedures that systematically consider both setup and utility costs, not only to improve current operations, but also to evaluate the economic benefit of investments in setup cost reduction. First, an algorithm with a look-ahead provision is developed to determine sequences for trim stations only. Later, setup cost is included and solution approaches are developed based on the previous algorithm. Extensive empirical study is done by using real as well as random data to evaluate performances of procedures.
