The proposed model cures the conceptual flaws in the classical solutions of the Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) and overcomes the complexity of the sub-tour elimination constraints and, for the first time, mathematically formulates precedence constraints, which is a cornerstone of the process planning problem.

Network-based integer programming models for flexible process planning

In this article, the FPP problem is exactly and concisely formulated as linear integer programming models based on the topology of the AND/OR-network under two criteria: production cost minimisation and completion time minimisation.

Branch-delete-bound algorithm for globally solving quadratically constrained quadratic programs

A branch-delete-bound algorithm for effectively solving the global minimum of quadratically constrained quadratic programs problem, which may be nonconvex, is presented, which can be easily solved by any effective linear programs algorithms.

Integration of process planning and job shop scheduling with stochastic processing time

Stochastic parameters are considered and a new approach to adjust to the real-world industry situations is presented and indicates that stochastic results are more robust than those of deterministic in different situations.

Reconfiguring Process Plans: A New Approach to Minimize Change

A novel process planning concept and a new mathematical programming model have been developed to genuinely reconfigure process plans to optimize the scope, extent and cost of reconfiguration and to overcome the complexity and flaws of existing models.

An AND/OR precedence constraints problem is formulated as a state-constrained traveling salesman problem (SCTSP) and applied to the assembly scheduling problem to reduce the complexity of solving the ordering problem for both the acquisition and generator procedures.

Optimal Operation Grouping and Sequencing Technique for Multistage Machining Systems

A method incorporating a combination of the expert system and mathematical programming is proposed to produce an optimal operation sequence minimizing the noncutting time and the advantage and effectiveness of the proposed approach are verified.

A Branch and Bound Algorithm Based Process-Planning System for Plastic Injection Mould Bases

The use of artificial intelligence in the process planning of plastic injection mould bases will allow users to optimise process plans easily for any given mould base, with options to suit dynamic changes on the manufacturing shop floor.

Optimal operation planning and sequencing: minimization of tool changeovers

Abstract Process planning is divided into two major tasks: routeing planning and operation planning. For operation planning a two-phase problem solving structure is proposed. In phase I, we focus on…

This paper demonstrates the application of genetic algorithms as a global search technique for a quick identification of optimal or near optimal operation sequences in a dynamic planning environment.

Operation sequencing and machining economics

Solution techniques for the combined machining economics-operations sequencing problem are proposed. We examine the problem of determining the sequence and the cutting speeds for a number of…
