Abstract:

A host of algorithms have been published dealing with the formation of cells for group technology layouts. However, much of this work is highly theoretical and not applicable by practitioners attempting to lay out an actual facility. In this article, a procedure will be presented which enables a practitioner to use one of the simpler algorithms (direct clustering analysis) in an actual implementation. The results from an industry test case are presented.
