| Abstract: | An operation partitioning problem (OPP) that arises from automated assembly systems design, flexible manufacturing and very large scale integration (VLSI) design is presented. To reduce the traffic flow of the system, the OPP assigns operations to machines so that the total number of movements of jobs between machines is minimized. This problem has applications in flexible manufacturing, where OPP relates to a part grouping problem in which different parts are grouped into families. In VLSI design, this problem is related to a VLSI design problem in which a large circuit is partitioned into layers of small circuits. In the paper, a simulated annealing heuristic is developed that finds a near-optimal solution. |
