Integrated Cellular Manufacturing System Design: an Evolutionary Algorithm Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cellular manufacturing system design has received much attention for the past three decades. The design process involves decisions on (i) cell formation, (ii) cell layout, and (iii) layout of cells on the shop floor. These decisions should be addressed jointly, if full benefits of cellular manufacturing are to be realised. However, due to the complexity of the problem, most researchers addressed these phases sequentially. In this paper, we propose an enhanced evolutionary algorithm to jointly address cell formation and layout problems, based on sequence data. The approach compares favourably to well-known heuristics and performed well on published data sets, providing improved solutions.

Integrative 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...
