Abstract

In the present competitive world, the necessity of minimizing costs and production time and increasing the productivity in manufacturing systems are more and more felt. Because when production costs are reduced, the final price of product is reduced too and when the production time is reduced, afterward the response time to customers order is reduced too. This paper presents a bi-objective mathematical model of multi period cell formation problem base on grouping efficacy in dynamic environment with the flexibility in operator assignment. The advantages of the proposed model are as follows: considering multi period planning horizon, dynamic system reconfiguration, duplicate machine, machine capacity, available time of operators and operator assignment. The aims of the proposed model are to maximize the total value of grouping efficacy (TVGE) and minimize the total costs (TC) include purchasing new machines cost, machine overhead cost, machine processing and reconfiguration costs, hiring, firing and salary costs. Computational results are presented by solving some numerical examples with improved e-constraint method to validate and verify the proposed model.
