A Note on the Tool Switching Problem of Flexible Machines

Kari Salonen, Csaba Raduly-Baka, Olli S. Nevalainen, A Note on the Tool Switching Problem of Flexible Machines. In: 32nd International Conference on Computers and Industrial Engineering - 2003, 2003.

Abstract:

The problem of minimizing the number of tool switches for a flexible machine is considered. We give algorithm GMSA3 which is a modification of GENIUS sequencing heuristic developed by Hertz, Mittaz, Laporte, & Stecke (1998). GMSA3 and the efficient tool switching heuristics presented in
the literature (Hertz et al., 1998 and Djellab, Djellab, & Gourgand, 2000) are empirically tested by random problems and real production data. The new algorithm performs well when considering the tradeoff between solution quality and running time.
