Abstract

Setup time is a major issue in Just-in-time environments. Even with a cellular manufacturing configuration, reduction of setup time is not fully insured and needs to be explicitly targeted. We have introduced a mathematical programming model which would reduce sequence-dependent setup time in manufacturing cells. Since the BIP model is NP hard, a solution approach based on a Genetic Algorithm has been improvised.
