| Abstract: | In some flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs), limited tool magazine capacity requires grouping of parts into subsets for production. Although several studies have addressed the part grouping issue, research comparing the performance of models in scanty. Moreover, there is no congruency in the objectives of the present part grouping models and subsequent loading models. Traditionally, part grouping is addresses before machine loading. |
