Abstract

Customized equipment manufacturing enterprises use cellular manufacturing system, material handling system transfer material between the units. It is difficult to obtain this type of manufacturing system accurate solution of optimization problem by traditional mathematics methods. This paper establish simulation model about process-assemble and material handling system based on computer simulation. Because the model has much variable and coupling influence, this paper uses sensitivity analysis method based on orthogonal experiments, determines the parameters optimization direction and the influence discipline between parameters, proposes a heuristic optimization method based on the optimization goal and practical constraints. Analysis shows that the proposed optimization method, which can be effective and reasonable configuration enterprise resources.
