Cellular Manufacturing: A Statistical Review of the Literature (1965-1995).
This paper focuses on the entire life-cycle literature of Cellular Manufacturing as a module of OR/MS. It addresses the research strategy employed by, and the theory-vs-applied orientation exhibited by, the authors.
Measures of Grouping Efficiency in Cellular Manufacturing Systems
Grouping efficiency is a measure of goodness of machine-part groups in cellular manufacturing systems. This paper briefly presents a critical review of existing grouping measures.
Neural Networks and the Part Family/Machine Group Formation Problem in Cellular Manufacturing: A Framework Using Fuzzy Art
It applies the term fuzzy adaptive resonance theory (ART) neural network to the part family/machine group formation problem in cellular manufacturing.
The Cellular Manufacturing Evolution
Since its introduction, the cellular manufacturing concept has considerably evolved. In the past few years, two new paradigms that inherit from the cellular manufacturing concept have been developed.
The Human Factor in Cellular Manufacturing
Little study has been devoted to the human aspects of the use of production cells. The research reported in this paper attempts to fill this void by systematically examining the effect of cellular production on batch manufacturing employees.
