Title : A Genetic Algorithm approach for minimizing Exceptional Elements in Cell Formation
Author Name : R. Sivaprakasam, V. Selladurai
Synopsis :
Cellular Manufacturing System (CMS) is an application of Group Technology (GT) in which similar parts and machines are grouped into part families and machine cells. In this work, a metaheuristic called Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to solve the machine cell formation problem. The objective considered was to minimize the intercellular movement of parts known as exceptional elements. The GA was tested on a number of problems of various sizes and its performance is evaluated.
