A new machine is to placed in a flexible manufacturing cell consisting of four CNC machines which are located at the following coordinates: (10, 10), (2, 10), (10, 2), and (5, 1). The interaction, that is the number of trips between the new machine and the existing ones, are 6, 10, 10, and 6 unis per time period. a. Determine the optimal coordinates of the new machine, assuming travel is along vertical and horizontal aisles. b. Suppose that the squared Euclidean distance metric is to be used. Determine the optimal location of the new machine.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

a To determine the optimal coordinates of the new machine assuming travel is along vertical and horizontal aisles we can calculate the total distance traveled between the new machine and each existing ... View the full answer
