—This paper presents, a two-stage heuristic based procedure for generating part family and machine cell formation in Cellular Manufacturing System. It decreases exceptional eleme...
In region machining, neighbouring regions may be close together, but disconnected. Boundary curves may also have unwanted geometric artifacts caused by approximation and discretis...
While risk-sensitive (RS) approaches for designing plans of total productive maintenance are critical in manufacturing systems, there is little in the literature by way of theoret...
