A metaheuristic approach for a cubic cell formation problem

作者:

Highlights:

• This study considers the assignment of workers to cells besides parts and machines.

• A genetic algorithm was proposed in this study for cubic cell-formation problems.

• In the related literature reports, data sets for large sized CFPs do not exist.

• Large sized test problems were developed and two performance measurements were used.

• The performance of the proposed GA on all of the test problems is better.
