Distributed job-shop rescheduling problem considering reconfigurability of machines: a self-adaptive hybrid equilibrium optimiser

M. Mahmoodjanloo et al.

Summary: The recent trend of economic globalization has been accelerated by new communication technologies, forcing companies to adapt to rapidly changing market demands with a flexible production system. Reconfigurable machine tools (RMTs) are used as a resource for flexibility in manufacturing systems. This study investigates a distributed job-shop rescheduling problem where facilities benefit from reconfigurable machines, aiming to minimize total weighted lateness in a dynamic state using a self-adaptive hybrid equilibrium optimiser algorithm.

Walking worker vs fixed worker assembly considering the impact of components exposure on assembly time and energy expenditure

Martina Calzavara et al.

Summary: This paper compares the fixed worker (FW) and walking worker (WW) assembly strategies in terms of activities performed during assembly and material exposure at workstations. A mathematical model is proposed to evaluate the impact on assembly time and operators' energy expenditure. The results show that the FW strategy is optimal at maximum throughput, while the WW strategy is preferable for lower market demand in terms of time and energy expenditure.
