چکیده
In past decade, new approaches to cell formation for cellular manufacturing systems was developed and applied. To be specific, Genetic Algorithm, Simulated Annealing, Ants colony systems, Particle Swarm Optimization, and Tabu search etc... are in this paradigm. When the implementation stage knocks the door, there is a great deal whether it can be applied in reality or not. Keeping this in mind, in this study it is discussed about the possibilities, obstacles and challenges facing to bridge the gap between hypothetical analysis and real time implementation of Genetic Algorithm especially in Cellular Manufacturing industries that deals with huge logistics.

متن کاملFormation of manufacturing cell using queuing theory and considering reliability
In this paper, a stochastic cell formation problem is studied using queuing theory framework and considering reliability. Since cell formation problem is NP-Hard, two algorithms based on genetic and modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO) algorithms are developed to solve the problem. For generating initial solutions in these algorithms, a new heuristic method is developed, which always cre...

متن کاملIntegrative Cell Formation and Layout Design in Cellular Manufacturing Systems
This paper proposes a new integrative view of manufacturing cell formation and both inter-cell and intra-cell layout problems. Cells formation and their popular bi-directional linear layout are determined simultaneously through a Dynamic Programming algorithm (with the objective of minimizing the inter-cell flow cost under a cell size constraint). This Dynamic Programming algorithm is implement...
