machine-part family formation is one of major applications of group technology (gt). the machine cell formation problem in cellular manufacturing system (cms) involves the decomposition of the manufacturing system into machine cells. part families are identified such that they are fully processed within a machine cell. the problem of cell design is a very complex task with wide ranging implicat...

Traditional component manufacturing systems have been optimized for either small scale craft production or for mass production of a small variety of high volume parts. Trends towards intermediate volumes and larger variety of parts have exposed the need for intelligently embedding flexibility in manufacturing systems and processes. The literature offers only few attempts to value component fabr...

The status of fault patterns on part surfaces can provide valuable information about the condition of the manufacturing system. In this work, we aim to develop a reliable fault detection and diagnosis tool in order to assure the automated production of high-quality parts. Such a tool provides a means of integrating the manufacturing and design phases. Accurate detection of the part surface cond...
