Cellular manufacturing system design using a holonistic approach
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose an integrated algorithm that will solve the part-family and machinecell formation problem by simultaneously considering the within-cell layout problem. To the best of our knowledge, this is the ® rst study that considers the e ciency of both individual cells and the overall system in monetary terms. Each cell should make at least a certain amount of pro® t to attain self-su ciency, while we maximize the total pro® t of the system using a holonistic approach. The proposed algorithm provides two alternative solutions; one with independent cells and the other one with inter-cell movement. Our computational experiments indicate that the results are very encouraging for a set of randomly generated problems.
