Manufacturing cell formation using artificial immune system

The cellular manufacturing system is a well-known strategy which improves the production efficiency and cutting down the manufacturing cost. The main problem in designing cellular manufacturing system is cell formation, which is concerned with grouping parts with similar processing required into part families and associated machines into machines and minimises the exceptional elements. This paper presents the artificial immune system method to solve the manufacturing cell formation problems with the objective to minimise the exceptional elements. This method is applied to the existing datasets found in the literature and it is found to out performs other methods.
