Effective Applications of Optimization Methods in the Manufacturing Environment in Turkey

Abstract

In today's manufacturing environment both used equipment and worker resources have become more crucial. Both resource must be used in an effective and appropriate way. Therefore, studies in conjuction with manufacturing environment are actualized under dual resource constrained (DRC). In the extant literature, DRC manufacturing environments place importance on certain dimensions which are surveyed in detail in this study. This literature research is conducted for manufacturing environments where worker planning and product scheduling topics are studied frequently. Our observations reveal that the systems of single conducted do not reflect the real manufacturing environment; hence, hybrid manufacturing systems which consist of functional layout and cells are investigated. The efficiency of hybrid manufacturing systems in the DRC environment are revealed by searching through literature. Therefore, the more effective way of usage of optimization methods are proposed by examining the studies regarding hybrid manufacturing system in terms of usage of optimization methods.
