Due to increasing demand uncertainty and product variety, manufacturing systems must
continually adapt to maintain productivity. Generally, decision-makers can maintain flexibility …

In this study, we present a new mathematical model of a multi-objective dynamic cellular
manufacturing system (MDCMS) that considers human factors. Human factors are …

Industries tend to manufacture higher quality products with a low cost due to the competitive
environmental loop and dynamic customers' demand. The integration of intelligent …

This paper examines a new multi-objective mathematical model in a Dynamic Cell
Formation Problem (DCFP), where social criteria and uncertainty conditions are considered …

Abstract Machines are a key element in the production system and their failure causes
irreparable effects in terms of cost and time. In this paper, a new multi-objective …

With the advent of cellular manufacturing systems and consequent evolution of configuring
methodologies, researchers proposed several multi-objective techniques, besides others, to …

Cell formation is one of the first and most important steps in designing a cellular
manufacturing system. It consist of grouping parts with similar design features or processing …

Layout flexibility is critical for the performance of flexible manufacturing cells, especially in
dynamic production environment. To improve layout flexibility, layout optimization should …

This paper addresses the stochastic cell formation problem with a newly proposed
stochastic genetic algorithm (SGA) approach considering stochastic demand and …

This study provides a systematic and integrated review of articles, puts into perspective, the
conceptualisation and various critical parameters for research on the application of genetic …
