Abstract
Among approaches to the machine cell formation problem, the similarity coefficient method and machine-component group analysis have been widely used to form machine cells for cellular manufacturing applications. While algorithms based on machine-component group analysis work effectively in cases of disjoint machine-component groups, they do not provide satisfactory solutions in the presence of bottleneck machines. The similarity coefficient method overcomes this problem. This paper compares these two approaches when applied to the machine cell formation problem.
