Abstract

Two types of cellular system designs are possible for a production environment consisting of dynamic part population: adaptive and robust layouts. Cellular manufacturing system designs in literature show that some of the cells formed have large number of machines compared to other cells. This paper is mainly concerned with developing suitable mathematical model so that more or less same number of machines in every cell is possible for the adaptive and robust designs. A genetic algorithm-based solution procedure is used to solve the problem. The suggested designs are giving less variation in cell size than adaptive and robust designs in literature.
