This paper introduces four integer programming formulations for optimizing cellular manufacturing systems (CMS). The proposed models integrate part grouping, machine assignment, and operational routing decisions within a unified framework. This approach aims to minimize inter-cell and intra-cell movements by assigning consecutive operations to the same cell and machine, while also considering machine investment and operating costs. AI
IMPACT This research offers a novel mathematical framework for optimizing manufacturing processes, potentially leading to more efficient production systems.
