Multi Plant Cellular Manufacturing Design within a Supply Chain
Traditionally, cellular manufacturing systems are designed on a single manufacturing facility. Also, design of supply chains are analysed without considering the suitable manufacturing plant design. In this paper, the aim is to integrate CMS design simultaneously with supply chain design. The supply chain consists of a number of plant facilities to manufacture a variety of parts with deterministic demands. Raw material can be procured from alternative suppliers. A one period non linear model is proposed to design a supply chain where the multi plant manufacturing system is configured as a cellular manufacturing system subject to supplying process selection. Aiming to demonstrate the potential benefits of such design, illustrative examples are shown using a proposed linearized form of the problem. Cplex software is thus used to solve small sized problems demonstrating the potential benefits gained through increasing routing flexibility over plants on investment costs and the effect of integrating supplier selection in a multi plant CMS configuration.
