Abstract

This paper presents a throughput-maximizing algorithm for facility planning and layout of flexible manufacturing systems. It uses a computationally efficient mean-value analysis model to analyze system configurations, and extends the methodology of CRAFT in layout planning. [Published circa 1986-1989.]
