Network flow partitioning procedures for the analysis of cellular manufacturing systems /

The primary objective of this study is to develop a network-flow based procedure for grouping the machines of a manufacturing system into cells, and the parts to be processed into families, in such a way that the overall intercellular flow of parts is minimized. In order to develop a meaningful comp...
