| Abstract: | In this paper a generalized framework of machine part grouping is considered where an operation can be performed on more than one machine. For group formation, both hierarchical and non-hierarchical approaches are proposed. The grouping objective is to maximize the association of part operations with machines. The relative suitability of the proposed approach for the various grouping scenarios is discussed. Numerical examples illustrate the issues related to the generalized grouping and various solution methodologies. |
