We consider a joint decision model of cell formation and task scheduling in cellular manufacturing system under dual-resource constrained (DRC) setting. On one hand, machines workers are multi-functional and/or multi-skilled, they grouped into workstations cells. the other there is processing sequence among operations parts which needs to be dispatched desirable for processing. Inter-cell movements can reduce times makespan but will increase inter-cell material handling costs. The objective...

This article designs a joint decision model to solve cell formation and product scheduling problems together in cellular manufacturing systems. Multifunctional machines multiskilled workers need be grouped assigned work cells. Because of the latter's learning forgetting effects, production rate each operation that requires same machine function is handled by pair worker different. Each with an sequence allowed move from one another for processing its subsequent operation, which may reduce...

Optimal cyclic scheduling problems of wafer-residency-time-constrained dual-arm cluster tools in wafer fabrication are challenging and remain to be fully solved. Existing studies assume that all processing modules (PMs) a required type used process the same wafers. This sometimes brings unneeded conservativeness results, because we may able make tool schedulable by reducing number PMs some steps if original one is not. In cases, use fewer reach result schedulable, thus saving energy other...

Flow-based microfluidic biochips have attracted much attention in the EDA community due to their miniaturized size and execution efficiency. Previous research, however, still follows traditional computing model with a dedicated storage unit, which actually becomes bottleneck of performance biochips. In this article, we propose distributed channel-storage architecture (DCSA) cache fluid samples inside flow channels temporarily. Since can be accessed more efficiently than unit switch between...

This paper designs a non-linear integer mathematical model for the cellular manufacturing system (CMS) with dual-resource constrained setting.The multi-functional machines and multi-skilled workers need to be grouped assigned cells.Moreover, each operation of parts has different processing times if processed by or workers.Each part sequence is allowed move from one machine another subsequent operation, which might reduce time although it will incur additional movement time.In order solve...

This paper constructs an integrated virtual reconfiguration model that can simultaneously group workstations, schedule cells, and select energy consumption levels. If managers prefer the physical proximity of machines in a certain cell, material handling cost it be reduced. However, distances among other cells are probably large, which may cause greater cost. cell for product type has priority to created, backorder decreased or even avoided. Nevertheless, creation types delayed, perhaps...

Scheduling single-robotic-arm cluster tools subject to wafer residency time constraints has received much attention. Compared some scheduling strategies that use all processing modules (PMs) process wafers, it is more challenging schedule a general case whose optimal strategy not limited the of using PMs. The only adjusting robot’s waiting may fail produce desired schedule. When tool PMs schedulable, become schedulable if type are used. Therefore, very important select an appropriate number...

This paper investigated the fracture properties of concrete in dry environments with different curing temperatures (5, 20, 40, and 60 °C). For each condition, key parameters were tested using wedge splitting specimens at five ages (3, 7, 14, 28, d). The results show that environments, effective toughness energy exposed to elevated increased a relatively high growth rate an early age. Nevertheless, speed decreased more quickly later stages. As result, cured higher temperature exhibited lower...

Flow-based microfluidic biochips are gaining traction in the microfluidics community since they enable efficient and low-cost biochemical experiments.

Tensile strength and fracture toughness are two essential material parameters for the study of concrete fracture. The experimental procedures to measure these might be complicated due their dependence on specimen size or test method. Alternatively, based results only, boundary effect models can determine both simultaneously.
