Heuristic Approaches for Cell Formation in Cellular Manufacturing
Cellular Manufacturing System (CMS) is an application of Group Technology (GT) that allows decomposing a manufacturing system into subsystems. Grouping the machines and parts in a cellular manufacturing system, based on similarities is known as cell formation problem (CFP) which is an NP-hard problem. In this paper, a mathematical model is proposed for CFP and is solved using the Ant Colony Opt...
متن کاملAn Integrated Decision Making Model for Manufacturing Cell Formation and Supplier Selection
Optimization of the complete manufacturing and supply process has become a critical ingredient for gaining a competitive advantage. This article provides a unified mathematical framework for modeling manufacturing cell configuration and raw material supplier selection in a two-level supply chain network. The commonly used manufacturing design parameters along with supplier selection and a subco...
متن کاملApplications of the Group Technology Theory in Manufacturing
Group Technology is a manufacturing philosophy and strategy that assists a company in understanding what it manufactures and how those products are then manufactured. GT provides a means to identify and exploit the "underlying sameness" or similarities of parts and processes. Once identified, it is possible to capitalize on these similarities by processing together groups of similar parts (fami...
متن کاملAn evolutionary algorithm for manufacturing cell formation
Cellular manufacturing emerged as a production strategy capable of solving the certain problems of complexity and long manufacturing lead times in batch production. The fundamental problem in cellular manufacturing is the formation of product families and machine cells. This paper presents a new approach for obtaining machine cells and product families. The approach combines a local search heur...
متن کاملIntegrative Cell Formation and Layout Design in Cellular Manufacturing Systems
This paper proposes a new integrative view of manufacturing cell formation and both inter-cell and intra-cell layout problems. Cells formation and their popular bi-directional linear layout are determined simultaneously through a Dynamic Programming algorithm (with the objective of minimizing the inter-cell flow cost under a cell size constraint). This Dynamic Programming algorithm is implement...
