posted on 2017-10-26, 14:20 authored by Shahin RahimifardThis thesis reports on the research carried out into the design and implementation of an
integrated planning and control system, where the issues involved in the· short term
planning and control of the interrelated flows of workpieces, fixtures and cutting tools are
addressed simultaneously. Multi-Flow Control is the research terminology used in this
thesis for such a planning and control system. The principal objective of the research is to
generate knowledge and generic solutions to harmonise the interactions between these
three fundamental material flows within machining cells and to reduce the overall
manufacturing cost. [Continues.]
