Abstract

The main problem of establishing equipment replacement decisions rules under specific conditions is to find decision variables that minimize total incurred costs over a planning horizon. Basically, the rules differ depending on what type of production type is used. For a batch production organization the suitable criterion is built on the principle of economies of scale. Proposed econometric models in this chapter are focused on a multiple machine replacement problem in flexible manufacturing cells with several machines for parts’ processing, and industrial robots for manipulation and transportation of manufactured objects. Firstly, models for a simple case multiple machine replacement problems are presented. Subsequently, the more complicated case is considered where technological improvement is taken into account.
