This paper proposes a new integration method for cell formation, group scheduling,
production, and preventive maintenance (PM) planning problems in a dynamic cellular …

This paper presents a mixed-integer programming model for a multi-floor layout design of
cellular manufacturing systems (CMSs) in a dynamic environment. A novel aspect of this …

Considering the ever changing market conditions, it is essential to design responsive and
flexible manufacturing systems. This study addresses the multi-period Dynamic Cellular …

In this paper a new integrated approach is presented for designing cellular manufacturing
system and its inter-and intra-cell layouts. Various production factors such as part demands …

Consolidation problems in cloud computing (CC) encompass server consolidation, virtual
machine (VM) consolidation, and task consolidation. These problems have become …

The three problems of cell formation (CF), cellular scheduling, and cellular layout are closely
interrelated in the design of cellular manufacturing systems (CMSs) and should, therefore …

The aim of this paper is to present an integrated mathematical model to solve the dynamic
cell formation problem considering operator assignment and inter/intra cell layouts problems …

Cell formation and machine layout in cellular manufacturing systems (CMs) design are
considered as a crucial, yet hard and complex decision process. Owing to the …

In this paper, a bi-objective optimization model is developed to integrate the cell formation
and inter/intra-cell layouts in continuous space by considering fuzzy conditions to minimize …

In this study a new version of adjacency, which provides a more flexible layout design, is
proposed. In the proposed version, departments which are nonadjacent yet close to each …
