Methods for solving cell formation, static layout and dynamic layout cellular manufacturing system problems: a review

Cellular Manufacturing (CM) has been emerged as a strong approach for improving operations in batch and job shop environments. In cellular manufacturing, Cell formation, static layouts, dynamic layouts are the prime areas for achieving the optimal cellular layout for any problems. In this paper it is decided to review the recent research work in this particular area and to project the effective ways of solving the cellular layout problems by comparing with the standard performance measures.
