Designing a new mathematical model for cellular manufacturing system based on cell utilization. (English) Zbl 1278.90131

Summary: We propose a new mathematical model for cell formation in cellular manufacturing system (CMS) based on cell utilization concept. The objective of the model is to minimize the exceptional elements (EE) and number of voids in cells to achieve the higher performance of cell utilization. A number of test problems from the literature are carried out to verify the good ability of the proposed model to form part-machine grouping in comparison of the previous models [S.J. Chen, C.S.
