Abstract

In this paper, an integrated mathematical model of the multi-period cell formation in a dynamic cellular manufacturing system (DCMS) is proposed with the aim of getting the optimal cost for it. In DCMS, the formed cells in the current period may not be optimal for the next period, so the reconfiguration of the cell is needed, thus we have a tendency to use DCMS. The paper examines the influence of the trade-off between assorted manufacturing costs on the reconfiguration of the cells in Cellular Manufacturing System (CMS) under a lively environment and the proposed model is implemented to a wide range of numerical examples.
