Post-industrial revolution led to the emergence of
Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems as result of increasing
market and manufacturing demands. Shorter product life-cycle,
competitive pricing, diverse needs and highly customized designs
with more flexibility, efficiency and reactivity redefined the
manufacturing paradigms. Products as well as parts exhibiting
close similarity in features, generally followed similar
manufacturing patterns and thus were suggested to be grouped
together in part families and configurations. Optimizing the setup
changes to the minimum possible number is the ultimate target in
several part productions. This research focuses on formulation of
approach to develop an optimized arrangement of product to
form family. The methodology depends on coefficients of
similarity using intelligent sequencing of setup, group-based
machining features and identification of datum. It considers the
product setup sequence based BMIMS coefficient of similarity
derived by incorporating concepts of LCS and SCS. The prime
objective is to enhance the production performance of
Cellular/Reconfigurable Manufacturing.
