Traditional approaches to lot sizing and inventory control consider uncertainties in either the demand or manufacturing process but not both. In these models it is usually assumed that the lead times are independent and identically distributed, but this is not realistic in many practical instances.
In this article, an approach based on the concept of genetic algorithms is proposed as a powerful but simple means of effecting the optimal formation of machine-part cells in the design of cellular manufacturing systems. A mathematical model is formulated to maximize the intracell and minimize the i
