The design of cellular manufacturing systems involves many structural and operational issues. One of the important design steps is the formation of part families and machine cells (cell formation). Despite a large number of papers on cell formation published worldwide, only a handful incorporates op
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
