| description | Cellular manufacturing (CM) is a concept that involves processing of similar parts on
dedicated cluster (or cells) of dissimilar machines or manufacturing processes. This
paper concentrated on seven cell formation techniques used in Cellular Manufacturing
(CM). The techniques were used to develop cells for matrices from various sizes of parts
and machines. By randomly rearranging the sequence of the machines in the reference
matrices (cited from published journals), 12 new matrices were developed. This paper
also concentrated on performing the treatments for bottleneck, exceptional elements or
voids using part subcontracting or machine duplication for the developed cells. The
performance of each technique was measured using Grouping Measures (GM), where
high percentage of GM indicates that the technique has high machine utilization (MU)
and low percentage of exceptional elements (EE). Overall, Bond Energy Algorithm
(BEA) was found to be the best cell formation technique. |
