An Exact Method for Solving the Manufacturing Cell Formation Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
A linear binary programming formulation is introduced to generate a solution for the cell formation problem using CPLEX. Numerical experimentation is completed with 35 benchmark problems to evaluate the quality of the solution generated with heuristic methods proposed in the literature. This experimentation indicates that for the smaller problems, the best-known solutions are the same as those generated with CPLEX.

Cell formation is the first and most important problem in designing cellular manufacturing systems. We have modeled the dynamic cell formation problem with respect to the minimization of the intercellular movement and cellular reconfiguration costs. Due to the nonpolynomiality of the cell formation models, a newly introduced metaheuristic namely the grenade explosion method (GEM) is applied t...

متن کاملA two stage model for Cell Formation Problem (CFP) considering the inter-cellular movements by AGVs
This paper addresses to the Cell Formation Problem (CFP) in which Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) have been employed to transfer the jobs which may need to visit one or more cells. Because of added constraints to problem such as AGVs’ conflict and excessive cessation on one place, it is possible that AGVs select the different paths from one cell to another over the time. This means that the ti...
