| Abstract: | This research considers the effective partitioning of a family of parts into subfamilies in cyclically scheduled cells involving unidirectional material flow between machines laid out in a loop and where capacity constraints on tooling are present. The criterion for forming subfamilies is the minimization of the total machine idle time. The authors present a model for the formation of subfamilies using this criterion and develop 4 heuristic approaches based on it. They then examine their effectiveness by conducting computational experiments. |
