As globalisation and competition grow rapidly, adopting a flexible manufacturing philosophy
becomes more critical for manufacturers. Cellular Manufacturing System (CMS) is among …

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

The net present value (NPV)-based resource constrained project scheduling problem
(RCPSP) is a well-known scheduling problem in many industries, such as construction …

In this paper, we present a new layout framework, called S-shaped layout, for the layout of
cellular manufacturing systems. Based on the proposed S-shaped layout, we formulate an …

Cell formation, cell scheduling, and group layout are three important problems in designing
and configuring a Cellular Manufacturing System (CMS). This paper addresses the …

Abstract Teaching-Learning-Based Optimisation (TLBO) is one of the more recently
developed metaheuristics and has been successfully applied to solve various optimisation …

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 …

Cellular manufacturing systems (CMS) are essential for achieving efficient production
processes, and their success relies on effective cell formation and layout design. This …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to develop an immune genetic algorithm (IGA) to solve
the simple assembly line balancing problem of type 1 (SALBP-1). The objective is to …

This research aims at solving a layout design problem from thin film transistor-liquid crystal
display (TFT-LCD) module manufacturing plant using lean production principles and cellular …
