| Abstract: | A different approach for grouping machine/part in GT is proposed and named the Vector Analytic (VECAN) method. This method consists of two parts and is applicable to solve a standard binary part/machine incidence matrix. The first part deals with vectorial analysis of machines and grouping them as the heuristic proposed. The second part is concerned with the method of efficiently diagonalizing them once the groups are identified. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been tested. |
