Abstract:
This thesis compares three approaches for assigning workers and scheduling the flow of jobs in a Group Technology (GT) cell. The performance measure considered is the throughput time of jobs. The performance of the three strategies is analyzed by varying the following factors: (1) The ratio of Batch processing time to setup time. (2) Utilization. (3) The number of operators assigned to the cell. The scheduling strategies considered are Individual Machine Loading, Cell Dedication and Worker Batch Assignment. Analytical queueing models as well as computer simulations are used to compare the perf

Abstract:
Cellular manufacturing has been extensively adopted as a measure to reduce cycle time, increase productivity, and improve product quality. The past research in cellular manufacturing has focused on the methodology for identification of machine groups, part families, and determination of processing routes while the relocation of existent workers into cells and their training for cellular manufacturing environment have been ignored. However, several industrial surveys show that human and administrative issues are a major unsolved problem in implementing cells. Human issues in the cell formation

Abstract:
Manufacturing cells consisting of an empowered team of workers and the resources required to produce a family of related products have become popular in recent years. Such cells require significant changes in organizational policies for personnel, wage administration, accounting and scheduling. For example, there are usually fewer workers than machines and as a result cells are staffed by cross-trained workers. However, little is known about operating these cells since much of the research in this area has concentrated on the cell formation problem. This thesis discusses the issue of determini
