Three alternative approaches considered are: 1) three independent facilities in three regions to meet their own demand; 2) single location manufacturing facility to meet world demand; 3) two newly proposed hybrid supplychain strategies to merge different product families. Manufacturing facilities are designed under stochastic demand by considering layered cellular design. This approach allows three types of cells to be formed - dedicated cells, shared cells, and remainder cells. The main objective of this paper is to compare three alternatives with respect to the number of manufacturing cells and the number of machines needed. Statistical analysis and cost analysis are also included in the comparison. We will also discuss detailed operational control parameters in one of the three facilities and discuss simulation results to validate the results obtained by layered cellular design approach. Later, setup time is also considered in the simulation experiment to redesign the manufacturing system. 2016 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1480519984058482 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1480519984058482 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
