| Abstract: | The majority of manufacturing cell formation procedures are routing-based and rely on existing part routings. However, reliance on fixed routings in cell formation can be subject to criticism since operations can often be performed on alternative machines. This paper suggests a new heuristic methodology that incorporates the concept of reallocating operations to alternative machines, while meeting capacity constraints. The procedure works with routes specified both in terms of operations and machines and uses a clustering technique based on a new similarity index. |
