✦ Synopsis

Cell formation is one of the major steps in cellular manufacturing system (CMS) design. In this paper, two stepwise decomposition approaches are proposed to solve large scale industrial problems. Both of them analyze the part-machine relations, decompose the original system to several large subsystems and then use an optimal solution technique to solve each. Several results are proved to show the conditions under which optimal solutions are obtained.

This paper introduces a set of new algorithms, called the Space-Decomposition Minimization (SDM) algorithms, that decomposes the minimization problem into subproblems. If the decomposed-space subproblems are not coupled to each other, they can be solved independently with any convergent algorithm; o

## Abstract During previous years, structural optimization has been recognized as a useful tool within the discriptines of engineering and economics. However, the optimization of large‐scale systems or structures is impeded by an immense solution effort. This was the reason to start a joint researc
