An improved algorithm for cyclic flowshop scheduling in a robotic cell
Article Abstract:
A polynomial solvable version of the cyclic robotic flowshop problem (CRFP) in an automated manufacturing line was analyzed to develop a cyclic schedule that will minimize cycle length. The cycle time for flowshop scheduling in a robotic cell can be improved by utilizing a polynomial algorithm for finding an optimal schedule. Furthermore, analysis of the CRFP led to the formation of a scheduling algorithm that reduces cycle time in cases wherein the operation times satisfy the triangle inequality.
