Two-Stage Design for Cellular Manufacturing System

Abstract:

Cell formation（CF）and cellular layout design are the two main steps in designing a cellular manufacturing system (CMS). Efficient grouping is the prerequisite of a successful Cellular Manufacturing, and it is too hard to obtain a perfect consequence of CF and layout simultaneously. In this paper, a two-stage strategy is used to solve CF problem and layout sequentially. At the first stage, the cells are formed based on the part-machine clustering results obtained through the genetic algorithm, to get the initial inter-cell layout. At the second stage, the genetic algorithm is used to improve the solution obtained, to minimize the handling cost and maximize the utility of the machines.
