Solving cell formation problem in cellular manufacturing using ant-colony-based optimization

Abstract Grouping the machines and parts in a cellular manufacturing system based on similarities is known as the cell formation problem. It has been shown that cell formation problem is a NP-hard problem. In this paper, the ant colony optimization (ACO) method is used as an evolutionary approach to solve the cell formation problem. This model uses a P = [P ij] (C) × (M + P) pheromone matrix in which C, M, and P are the number of cells, machines, and parts, respectively. In order to represent the sequence of operations, the machine–part incidence matrix entries are considered as positive integers. Performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on some benchmark problems existing in the literature to show the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed model. Comparison of the solutions obtained by the proposed algorithm with those reported in the literature indicates that application of the proposed algorithm has resulted in 5.73% improvement in the total number of intercellular movements and voids on average.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
