Abstract

In contemporary manufacturing and supply chain environments, there are various challenges that companies have to face. Many companies are facing challenges to respond quickly to customers’ requirements and to provide customised products cost effectively. Mass customisation (MC) can help companies to provide customised products and services quickly at a low price. Integrated decision-making can obtain performance improvement in many situations. This paper investigates the problem of scheduling integration of flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) for mass customisation. A mathematical model is formulated for the problem. A set-based dynamic algorithm is developed. Numerical studies are made on the proposed algorithm by simulation and by statistical analysis. Conclusions, managerial implications, and future research suggestions are provided.
