[ 1 ] - A genetic algorithm approach for a dynamic cell formation problem considering machine breakdown and buffer storage

Cell formation problem mainly address how machines should be grouped and parts be processed in cells. In dynamic environments, product mix and demand change in each period of the planning horizon. Incorporating such assumption in the model increases flexibility of the system to meet customer’s requirements. In this model, to ensure the reliability of the system in presence of unreliable machine...
