description

ABSTRACT A computationally efficient heuristic procedure is presented in order to solve the Part Batching Problem in FMS installations. The procedure is able to deal with the limited availability of tool slots in the storage devices of the machining centers and to evaluate how their capacity affects the overall system performances. A large dimension application is reported and the solution of the problem is tested using a simulator properly worked out.
