Abstract
Cellular manufacturing is a layout approach to increase productivity in manufacturing. The basic concept of cellular manufacturing is to exploit the similarity between parts and manufacturing processes. Parts similar in design and manufacture are grouped into families. Then machines are identified to process part families. In the literature, the problem is studied using two approaches: standard and generalized formulations. Compares the effectiveness of cluster analysis techniques for both formulations.
