Abstract
The turbulent environment of dynamic job-shop operations affects shop-floor layout as well as manufacturing operations. Due to the dynamic nature of shop-floor layout changes, essential requirements such as adaptability and responsiveness to the changes need to be considered in addition to the cost issues for material handling and machine relocation when reconfiguring a shop floor’s layout. Here, based on the source of uncertainty, the shop floor layout problem is split into two sub-problems and dealt with by two modules: re-layout and find-route. Genetic algorithm is used where changes may cause a re-layout of the entire shop, while function blocks are utilised to find the best sequence of robots for the new conditions within the existing layout. This paper reports the latest development to the author’s previous work.
