Abstract:

This paper presents a real time routing method for material handling transporters in automated manufacturing shops where the performance criterion is to maximize throughput. The static version of the routing problem is identified as a one machine due date problem with sequence dependent processing times and sequence dependent due dates. For real time application, a heuristic method is proposed, and its performance is evaluated and compared to other currently known rules using discrete simulation on hypothetical cell operations.
