Abstract
The problem of allocating new parts to existing part families in cellular manufacturing systems is addressed in this paper. A part-family identification model is proposed to develop a part-allocation scheme based on the tooling requirements of the parts and the tooling available on the machine tools. Using this scheme, new parts may be allocated to appropriate families based on their tooling requirements. The approach suggested in this paper is demonstrated using real data from an industrial setting.
