“…Other similar approaches were published with many innovative algorithms. For example, Farahani et al [25] described ant colony optimization to solve machine-part cell-formation problems. Mohammad Mohammadi et al [26] approached a layout problem in cellular manufacturing systems with alternative processing routings.…”

In manufacturing-cell-formation research, a major concern is to make groups of machines into machine cells and parts into part families. Extensive work has been carried out in this area using various models and techniques. Regarding these ideas, in this paper, experiments with varying parameters of the popular metaheuristic algorithm known as the genetic algorithm have been carried out with a bi-criteria objective function: the minimization of intercell moves and cell load variation. The probability of crossover (A), probability of mutation (B), and balance weight factor (C) are considered parameters for this study. The data sets used in this paper are taken from benchmarked literature in this field. The results are promising regarding determining the optimal combination of the genetic parameters for the machine-cell-formation problems considered in this study.

Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) are considered the future of manufacturing, being able to overcome both dedicated (DMS) and flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). In fact, they provide significant cost and time reductions in the launch of new products, and in the integration of new manufacturing processes into existing systems. The goals of RMS design are the extension of the production variety, the adaption to rapid changes in the market demand, and the minimization of the investment costs. Despite the interest of many authors, the debate on RMS is still open due to the lack of practical applications. This work is a review of the state-of-the-art on the design of cellular RMS, compared to DMS, by means of optimization. The problem addressed belongs to the NP-Hard family of combinatorial problem. The focus is on non-exact meta-heuristic and artificial intelligence methods, since these have been proven to be effective and robust in solving complex manufacturing design problems. A wide investigation on the most recurrent techniques in DMS and RMS literature is performed at first. A critical analysis over these techniques is given in the end
