A bacteria foraging algorithm for solving integrated multi-period cell formation and subcontracting production planning in a dynamic cellular manufacturing system

A bacteria foraging algorithm for solving integrated multi-period cell formation and subcontracting production planning in a dynamic cellular manufacturing system

The bacteria foraging algorithm (BFA) is a new computation technique inspired by the social foraging behaviour of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. Since the introduction of the BFA by Kevin M. Passino, there have been many challenges in employing this algorithm to problems other than those for w...
