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 …

This paper presents a new mixed-integer non-linear programming model for designing the
group layout (GL) of unequal-area facilities in a cellular manufacturing system (CMS) under …

In the design of a cellular manufacturing system (CMS), one of the important problems is the
CMS layout. This paper presents a new mathematical model concerning inter-cell and intra …

Layout has a significant role on the efficiency of manufacturing systems, but it has not
received attention of researchers in comparison to cell formation in cellular manufacturing …

Cellular manufacturing is considered as a lean technique of producing similar parts using
sells or groups of team members, workstations, or equipment to facilitate operations by …

This paper develops a novel mixed integer nonlinear programming model for the intra-cell
layout design of dynamic cellular manufacturing systems. In dynamic environment, the …

This paper presents a novel mixed-integer non-linear programming model for the layout
design of a dynamic cellular manufacturing system (DCMS). In a dynamic environment, the …

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 and layout design are two important steps for the implementation of the
production systems. The existing models majorly have focused on the cell formation issue …

In this paper, a comprehensive model is presented for cell formation and layout design in
cellular manufacturing systems (CMS). The proposed model incorporates an extensive …
