A Genetic Algorithm tool for optimising cellular or functional layouts in the capital goods industry
2006
International Journal of Production Economics
The literature on the design of manufacturing facilities has two major themes: the application of Cellular Manufacturing, including the use of clustering methods; and the solution of facilities layout problems using optimisation methods. Most previous research has been based upon relatively small or theoretical problems. This paper presents a Genetic Algorithm optimisation method that has been developed which can be applied to a set of manufacturing cells or to an entire manufacturing facility.
