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

In this article, the problems of cell formation (CF) and cellular layout (CL) encountered in the
design of a cellular manufacturing system are studied. A semi-robust cellular approach is …

In today's competitive environment, customer demand has become increasingly diversified
and customised. In order to stay competitive, the manufacturing companies need to adopt …

In this paper, a new approach for defuzzification of generalized fuzzy numbers is
established. This method uses the incentre point of a triangle where the three bisector lines …

The design process of a cellular manufacturing system (CMS) involves well-known NP-hard
problems. Being an NP-hard, it is difficult to address these CMS-related problems optimally …

In previous decades, manufacturers faced a lot of challenges because of globalization and
high competition in markets. These problems arise from shortening product life cycle, rapid …

Cellular manufacturing is an important application of group technology and the cell
formation process is one of the important steps in designing cellular manufacturing system …

Cellular manufacturing system (CMS) plays a remarkably significant role in modern
production systems. This paper presents a novel and practical fuzzy multi-objective …

This paper presents a novel integer linear programming model for designing multi-floor
layout of cellular manufacturing systems. Three major and interrelated decisions are …

Cell formation (CF) problem is one of the most important decision problems in designing a
cellular manufacturing system includes grouping machines into machine cells and parts into …
