Generally, a planning problem in a flexible manufacturing system is considered to be a composite of three interdependent tasks : part selection, loading, and routing mix. This research presents a mathematical model which can concurrently solve part selection, loading, and routing mix problems, so the problems that are caused by treating the planning problems independently are solved. The mathematical model is aimed to minimize system unbalance and the number of late parts, including constraints such as machine capacity, tool magazine capacity, and tool inventory. To illustrate the application of the model, an example is included. Solution procedure based on Lagrangian relaxation is also suggested for larger-sized problems.

In the design and operation of Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMSs), it is useful to have a tool with which one can evaluate system's performances under various conditions. As one of such tools, this study chooses the Linearizer algorithm which uses mean value analysis (MVA). Linearizer algorithm is known to be the most accurate one among the MVA based heuristic algorithms yet developed. Though, up until now, the method is solely used to evaluate computer system's performances, this study shows that the Linearizer algorithm can be adapted for FMSs and still produces accurate solutions. Numerical examples for various classes of FMSs are presented and compared with the results from other methods and simulations.

Cylinder block is driven by tapered piston for bent-axis type piston pump, so that geometrical mechanism is very complicate. Piston rod must have not separated from shaft when shaft and piston rod is assembled. For this reason, shaft design is changed. Finite element analysis is performed for analyzed structural stability and flexible dynamic behavior. The result of the analysis, maximum equivalent stress occurred under yield stress, therefore structural stability is satisfactory. and flexible dynamic analysis give useful information about driving gear. These background data is avail of manufacture of piston pump.

This paper suggests a control technique of the two axes precision stage. The stage is supported by four flexible spring hinges and driven by two piezoelectric actuators. The dynamic motion of the stage is analysed by the finite element method and identified by the frequency domain modeling technique based on the experimental data. The sliding mode control with integrator is applied to improve the tracking ability of the stage to the complex reference input signal. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed modeling schemes and control algorithm can be used effectively for the two axes stage.

Many manufacturing devices must execute motions as quickly as possible to achieve profitable high-volume production. Most of them have devices having flexibility and a time delay of one sampling is added to the plants when they are controlled by fast discrete controllers, which brings about non-minimum phase zeros. This paper develops a control strategy that combines feedforward and feedback control with command shaping for such devices. First, the feedback controller is designed to increase damping and eliminate steady-state error. Next, the feedforward controller is designed to speed up the transient response. Finally, an appropriate reference profile is generated using command-shaping techniques to ensure fast point-to-point motions with minimum residual vibration. The particular focus of the paper is to understand the interactions between these individual control components. The resulting control strategy is demonstrated on a model of a high-speed semiconductor manufacturing machine.

In a flexible manufacturing system, a cell controller is able to identify and evaluate a number of alternative decisions to meet the objectives set by the factory level controller. In this paper, a Petri net-based cell controller is presented to accomplish this task. A static model is developed by using the Integrated Computer Aided Definition(IDEF0) method to represent clear functional relationships among the objects of the system. Based on the static model, two Petri net models are developed for the physical part flow and for the information flow. Multiple decision alternatives are generated from the physical part flow model and are synchronized with the information flow model for execution of the selected alternative.

This paper presents a methodology for development of a heterarchical control system in Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) environment. A Petri net based model is applied for development of control software. A real-time scheduling methodology for the heterarchical system is also developed and it is used as a software entity in the overall architecture. The partition of generic and specific modules in control software development is emphasized. The control system performs its control tasks in two stages: (1) generation of generic control code and distribution of them to each controller entity prior to system execution; (2) generation of specific control code according to job arrival and its process plan. The control software and the scheduling algorithm are evaluated by a simulation program.

We consider the simultaneous selection of part routes for multiple part types in Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMSs). Using an optimization framework we investigate two alternative route assignment policies. The one, called routing mix policy in the literature, specifies the optimal proportion of each part type to be produced along its alternative routes, assuming that the proportions can be kept during execution. The other one, which we propose and call pallet allocation policy, partitions the pallets assigned to each part type among the routes. The optimization framework used is a nonlinear programming superimposed on a closed queueing network model of an FMS which produces multiple part types with distinct repeated visits to certain workstations. The objective is to maximize the weighted throughput. Our study shows that the simultaneous use of multiple routes leads to reduced bottleneck utilization, improved workload balance, and a significant increase in the FMS's weighted throughput, without any additional capital investments. Based on numerical work, we also conjecture that pallet allocation policy is more robust than routing mix policy, operationally easier to implement, and may yield higher revenues.

In this study, we discuss the design of the expert system for the scheduling of the FMC(Flexible Manufacturing Cell) consisting of the several versatile machines. Due to the NP property, the scheduling problem of several machine FMC is very complex task. Thus we proposed the two heuritstic shceduling algorithms for solving the problem and constituted the algorithm based of solving the problem and constituted the algorithm base of ISS(Intelligent Scheduling System) using them. By the rules in the rule base, the best alternative among various algorithms in algorithm base is selected and applied in controlling the FMC. To show the efficiency of ISS, the scheduling output of ISS and the existent dynamic dispatching rule were tested and compared. The results indicate that the ISS is superior to the existent dynamic dispatching rules in various performance indexes.
