In this paper we review research that has been done to address cellular manufacturing
under conditions of multi-period planning horizons, with demand and resource uncertainties …

This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of reconfigurability and reconfigurable
manufacturing systems. Reconfigurability is defined as the ability to repeatedly change and …

Investment in information systems and technology is often justified as a necessary strategy
for coping with the increased complexity and information needs of today/s manufacturing …

The paper presents the background to why some manufacturing organisations require a
combination of agile and lean characteristics in their manufacturing organisations. The …

Real world manufacturing systems are usually constrained by both machine and human
resources. Human operators are often the constraining resource and transfer between …

In this paper, a new type of virtual cellular manufacturing (CM) system is considered, and a
multi-objective design procedure is developed for designing such cells in real time …

We present a genetic algorithm (GA) based heuristic approach for job scheduling in virtual
manufacturing cells (VMCs). In a VMC, machines are dedicated to a part as in a regular cell …

Purpose–The purpose of this research paper is to discuss cellular manufacturing is
discussed under conditions of changing product demand. Traditional cell formation …

Cellular manufacturing has received a considerable amount of attention in the research
literature as an approach for improving the performance of manufacturing facilities …

It is shown in the literature that in highly volatile manufacturing environments functional job
shops and classical cellular manufacturing systems do not perform well. Classical cellular …
