ABSTRACT

This paper discusses STAR⋆CELL, a PC-based simulator for the design and evaluation of flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) flow line systems. As a design tool, STAR⋆CELL aids in determining the ideal number of machines, number and assignment of operators, and the size of inter-workstation buffers. The menu-driven simulator also assists in evaluating the impact on cell performance of Just-in-Time (JIT) factors, changes in product mix and demands, and different user-specified job input sequences. The paper provides numerical results for a gear workcell example to illustrate the effects of various design variables on cell performance. A brief discussion of the development, applications, advantages, and limitations of STAR⋆CELL is also presented.
