Abstract

In this article, we attempt to solve cellular manufacturing system (CMS) scheduling problem from group technology point of view. Since the operations of a job in a CMS can be performed on more than one machine within a cell, the scheduling problem of the CMS is always considered as a computationally hard problem. Two approaches called fuzzy logic and fuzzy MAX-MIN ant system are employed respectively. Under the consideration of multiple criteria, the performance of different manufacturing cells in a CMS is improved by means of proposed methodologies.
