Abstract

Cell-formation procedures ignore any changes in demand over time caused by product redesign and uncertainties due to volume variation, part mix variation and resource unreliability till today. Nowadays for business environment product life cycles are short, demand volumes and product mix can vary frequently, in this context Cellular Manufacturing System (CMS) configuration for a period might not be an optimal or even not to be feasible for the next periods or next process. Thus now for economical production, the manufacturing cell design will sustain with only Dynamic Cellular Manufacturing System (DCMS). DCMS model gives the best multiple routings, reconfiguration and production planning, etc., for various time periods and also DCMS leads the best optimal time as well as best optimal cost to the material movements (or) transfer in assembly (or) production lines, which provides the flexibility to the cellular manufacturing system to respond for any variations in part mix demand or volume variation.
