| Abstract: | In the paper, the problem of buffer location and storage size is addressed. A simulation search heuristic procedure based on tabu search, combined with simulation, was developed and tested. Simulation is used to model the manufacturing process and tabu search is used to guide the search to overcome the problem of being trapped at local optimal solutions. Swap Search and Global Search routines are employed by the procedure. |
