The evolution of cell formation problem methodologies based on recent studies (1997-2008): review and directions for future research Grammatoula Papaioannou John M. Wilson 2134/17064 https://repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/journal_contribution/The_evolution_of_cell_formation_problem_methodologies_based_on_recent_studies_1997-2008_review_and_directions_for_future_research/9504332 This paper presents a literature review of the cell formation (CF) problem concentrating on formulations proposed in the last decade. It refers to a number of solution approaches that have been employed for CF such as mathematical programming, heuristic and metaheuristic methodologies and artificial intelligence strategies. A comparison and evaluation of all methodologies is attempted and some shortcomings are highlighted. Finally, suggestions for future research are proposed useful for CF researchers. 2015-03-19 14:59:33 Group technology Cellular manufacturing systems Cell formation problem Business and Management not elsewhere classified
