| Abstract: | Cellular layout is a well-known solution method to the layout problems in modern batch type
production industries. In Cellular manufacturing system (CMS), machines and parts are grouped
together based on manufacturing similarities. Generally, zero-one machine-part incidence matrix
(MPIM) obtained from the route sheet information is used to form machine cells. The major demerit
with such approaches is that real life production factors cannot be accounted for. In an attempt to
address generalized cell formation problem, this study considers operational time of the parts
processed on each machine. An efficient algorithm based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) is suggested to
form machine cells with the combined objective of minimizing total cell load variation and exceptional
elements when workload matrix is presented as input. A new grouping efficiency measure called
Modified Grouping Efficiency (MGE) is proposed to evaluate the performance of GA. The proposed
algorithm is tested with ... |
