Cell Production System Design: A Literature Review

Purpose In a cell production system, a number of machines that differ infunction are housed in the same cell. The task of these cells is to completeoperations on similar parts that are in the same group. Determining the familyof machine parts and cells is one of the major design problems of productioncells. Cell production system design methods include clustering, graph theory,artificial intelligence, meta-heuristic, simulation, mathematical programming.This article discusses the operation of methods and research in the field of cellproduction system design.Methodology: To examine these methods, from ۱۸۷ articles published in thisfield by authoritative scientific sources, based on the year of publication and thenumber of restrictions considered and close to reality, which are searched usingthe keywords of these restrictions and among them articles Various aspects ofproduction and design problems, such as considering machine costs and cellsize and process routing, have been selected simultaneously.Findings: Finally, the distribution diagram of the use of these methods and thelimitations considered by their researchers, shows the use and efficiency of eachof these methods. By examining them, more efficient and efficient design fieldsof this type of production system can be identified.
