Abstract
We have dealt with the optimal parts selection problem in a flexible manufacturing cell producing different parts for several production lines taking account of shortage cost, holding cost and smoothing cost. The optimal control problem has been formulated as an undiscounted semi-Markov decision process. From the numerical results, it is found that increasing smoothing cost leads to the trend of uniform production at the cell and that the effect of smoothing cost decreases with increase of line size B or holding cost.
