dc.description.abstractThis paper addresses scheduling and evaluation of Robotic Flexible Assembly Cells (RFACs). Even though RFACs are capable of assembling a variety of products using the same resources, all previous studies have been devoted to scheduling RFACs for assembling a single product. The objective of the paper is to propose an algorithm deal with scheduling RFAC for assembly of multi-products. Four experiments are illustrated to schedule RFAC under different dispatching rules. Also, four performance measures are suggested to evaluate the cell performance. A case study is presented to illustrate applications of the proposed algorithm. The results of study demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm to manage scheduling RFAC in a multi-product assembly environment.
