Résumé : This paper addresses the cell formation problem with alternative part routings, considering machine capacity constraints. Given processes, machine capacities and quantities of parts to produce, the problem consists in defining the preferential routing for each part optimising the grouping of machines into manufacturing cells. The main objective is to minimise the inter-cellular traffic, while respecting machine capacity constraints. To solve this problem, the authors propose an integrated approach based on a multiple-objective grouping genetic algorithm for the preferential routing selection of each part (by solving an associated resource planning problem) and an integrated heuristic for the cell formation problem. © 2005 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.
