Abstract

The cell formation problem in cellular manufacturing has been addressed by a wide range of different techniques, and by a large number of researchers. Whilst algorithms capable of addressing a number of different concerns have been developed, there is a strong need for the development of a comprehensive framework with which to evaluate the performance of these algorithms and to provide guidelines to determine their appropriateness. In this paper, the need for an evaluation framework is stressed, and an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) based framework for evaluation of the cell formation techniques is proposed, and illustrated with an example.
