IMPROVED CELLULAR MANUFACTURING SYSTEM USING PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION

Abstract

Cellular manufacturing system is the nerve of industry in our days and many studies
and researches discussed in this field . In this research row materials need to cross long
distance about thousand meters during the manufacturing process to be final product in
ALWAZIRIA ELECRICAL MOTOR FACTORY the problem was needed to reduce the
routing of row material flow and increase flexibility with saving same operation sequence .
First segmented the facility into subsystems called cells and figured the system output .the
research goes in two ways first assign the problem and parameter affected on production
process secondly apply the particle swarm to the problem after writing the algorithms. The
particle swarm technique shows great flexibility in scheduling purposes problem. Also the
product will cross about 400 m instead of 1000 m before using PSO after extracted the
result which it discussed and recommended to the future researcher .
