Abstract
- The tool allocation problem in a flexible manufacturing system generally aims at (1) maximizing throughput (2) minimizing machining cost (3) minimizing system imbalance. This paper presents a heuristic approach of loading a set of tools to the different machining centres in the case of variable machining time. Concepts of fuzzy set theory to determine threshold machining time and a potency index (PI) to prioritize parts tire used to solve the problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
