Abstract :
Cellular manufacturing systems are designed for producing multiple products effectively, and the configuration should be changed responding to changes in demand for each product for maintaining the effectiveness. In this paper, we propose an adaptive cellular manufacturing system that can change the configuration responding to real-time changes in demand. Markov chain model of the system is proposed, and the performance is analyzed and compared with that of previous cellular manufacturing systems.
