Optimizing the Work Centers Loading Level
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2015, Vol 16, Issue 46
Abstract
This paper present a new approach for optimizing the loading level of the work centers in a manufacturing system or supply chain. The loading level problem is solved when the following information is available: how many parts can be produced at each resource and from each material, considering the given time span, the routing file with more alternatives and the product mix based on the customer orders. In this paper, optimization is based on the adoption of matrix calculus combined with linear programming simplex algorithm. The opportunity of such a model is that the classic MRP data structure is directly manipulated with the purpose of obtaining the loading level and the production capacity. The results are used in the rough-cut capacity planning, budgeting process, and customer order confirmation. In addition, the facile integration in MRP systems is a vital point. The model was created also to serve a large variety of manufacturing systems.
