03 07 05 01 9 052 500 A Manufacturing Company has a process layout. For several reasons, including recent drastic changes in product mix and volme, the current layout has led to such problems as high traffic congestion, lack of control in the system, low employee morale, and increased material-handling costs. The Industrial Engi- neering team at this company has correctly attributed the source of these problems to the current layout and strongly feels regrouping the machines into cells will alleviate many of the problems. The routing information for 12 parts including annual demand is given in Table 1. 11 11 06 05 08 04 10 954 230 Table 1: Part information Part Number Part Name Demand Machine Name 06 11 186 400 10 02 07 03 07 11 1 783 500 12 466 450 01 05 10 02 07 03 12 2 969 450 12 01 06 08 05 3 767 840 a) Determine a machine grouping using the SC. Then, create an optimum layout within the cell(s) using the 2-opt. Consider U shape layout within the cell. Assume machines are in square shape and have the same areas as 1 m2. Allow 1 m. between each machine b) Solve the same problem this time without grouping. Find an optimum layout using the 2-opt, by considering Greedy c) Solve the problem by assuming an S shape layout using the GMAFLAD d) Try to improve your result and explain how you did it. 04 07 02 4 865 710 10 09 Comment on your results and draw the final layouts and show the total costs (objective functions). 12 06 01 5 868 300 08 04 10 02 6 214 380 12 09 04 08 7 081 360 05 01 11 10 09 8 044 590
