Abstract

In this paper, an existing small scale manufacturing system called a Flexible Forging Module (FFM) is considered. For this system the sequence-dependent changeover costs have been identified. In order to obtain an optimal schedule, a network model is developed which easily incorporates both the sequence-dependent changeover costs and the precedence constraints. A branch and bound algorithm is outlined and numerical results are reported.
