| Abstract | The formation of machine cells to process subsequent part families is not the only goal of the designing of an efficient cellular manufacturing system (CMS). A competent layout of the newly acquired cells is also essential to restrict the total inter-cell material handling cost which is primarily significant with large production volume. Furthermore, in realistic industrial scenario, the uncertainty of product demand can influence the layout configuration to be altered from period to period. Albeit there are numerous articles exist in the domain of CMS research considering cell formation problems, layout issues have not been addressed significantly. Therefore, the aim of our paper is to portray a reformed mathematical model of the inter-cell layout design problem in dynamic production situation considering material handling cost and a modified proximity relationship of manufacturing cells. The proposed Quadratic Assignment Programming (QAP) model is combinatorial in nature and is difficult to solve using traditional exact solution methods. The state-of-the-art soft-computing techniques are extremely advantageous for such QAP paradigms. Thus, we developed an improved genetic algorithm (IGA) and a simulated annealing heuristic (SAH) to sort out the abovementioned problem. Due to the inadequacy of datasets, we formed small to large size test problems (6 × 6 × 2 to 24 × 24 × 10) in logical way to cater the purpose. The proposed algorithms are successfully employed to attain near-optimal solutions to the test problems. Computational results demonstrate the proficiency of the IGA over SAH for all the test problems in terms of solution quality and computational time. In addition, we conducted a statistical data analysis to validate the test results. |

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.
