Design procedures and implementation of the segmented flow topology (SFT) for discrete material flow systems

IIE Transactions (1997)

David Sinriech J. M. A. Tanchoco

Abstract In this paper, both the single pick-up and delivery station (SPDS) and the multiple pick-up and delivery station (MPDS) cases of the segmented flow topology (SFT) system configuration are presented. These system's configurations serve as the backbone of a heuristic design procedure for SFT. This design procedure consists of an upper and lower bound calculation and a search procedure that minimizes the total system cost (transportation, setting up pick-up and/or delivery stations, and material handling devices). Two examples of the implementation of the procedure are given.

AGVSim2-a development tool for AGVS controller design

International Journal of Production Research (1989)

Robert J. Gaskins J. M. A. Tanchoco

SUMMARY This paper presents a vehicle system simulator, AGVSim2, to be used in the evaluation of control strategies of real-time free-ranging vehicle supervisory controllers. The C-based discrete-event simulator is designed to be flexible so that many system configurations can be modelled. Also, the simulator allows for complex free-ranging vehicle manoeuvres, bidirectional flow, multiple vehicle types, and multiple loads on a vehicle. Instead of modelling the vehicle controller logic, the simulator is linked directly to the vehicle supervisory controller software. The simulator reports a variety of performance statistics and a trace of the system activities so that the performance of the supervisory controller can be evaluated. To improve the evaluation procedure, the simulator is also designed to be linked to an animation module that graphically displays the vehicle movements.

Deadlock Prevention in Manufacturing Systems With AGV Systems: Banker’s Algorithm Approach

Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering (1997)

Chang‐Wan Kim J. M. A. Tanchoco Pyung-Hoi Koo

An important issue in the operational control of an automated job shop is the prevention and resolution of shop deadlocks. In this paper, we discuss the problems and solutions of deadlocks in manufacturing systems with automated guided vehicle systems, describe a banker’s algorithm for the control of material flow in job shops, and present the results of simulation experiments to compare the performance of several deadlock handling methods.

On implied within-building constraints for machine layout

International Journal of Production Research (2012)

Patrick A. Brunese J. M. A. Tanchoco

Abstract This research investigates the importance of the within-building constraints on the solution speed of the machine layout problem. The machine layout problem, or the more general facility layout problem, has been well studied. Often, practical constraints such as within-building constraints are ignored when the modeller is not space-restricted. This research develops an 'implied' within-building constraint for the single-row machine layout model. The incorporation of such constraints may assist layout planners in obtaining higher quality (or known-quality) solutions within shorter planning periods. The impact of the constraint is assessed in several ways. First, the constraint is evaluated on several problems arising from the literature using the time to solution and objective function value as metrics using mixed-integer linear and nonlinear formulations. In addition, statistical assessments are made using the time to solution and objective function value metrics. Keywords: facility layoutfacility planningmachine layoutwithin-building constraints

Concurrent design and economic justification in developing a product

International Journal of Production Research (1990)

James S. Noble J. M. A. Tanchoco

SUMMARY In today's globally competitive world it is essential to design products with maximized functionality and minimized costs. An environment that facilitates the interactions between design and justification would enhance such a decision process. A conceptual framework for such a concurrent design and justification system is presented in this paper. A prototype implementation was developed to explore the usefulness of the design justification concept Actual data from the design of an electromagnetic/radio frequency shield, a component in electrical metering equipment, was used. In this implementation the design justification environment allowed the decision maker to see the potential economic implications of different design alternatives. It also enabled the decision maker to take advantage of their present knowledge and combine it with that of the environment to better analyse the design of the shield throughout the entire product development period.
