Abstract
This paper presents a comparative analysis of two methods for machine cell formation: 1. the maximal spanning tree (MST) approach 2. the CLINK method using a similarity coefficient matrix between machines as suggested by Seifoddini [18]. The results obtained from a sample of 16 data sets were compared for the two methods. The performance of these methods is compared, based on the total cell-load variation, grouping efficiency, and the total number of intercellular moves.
