Abstract
Virtual cellular manufacturing has been known to a way to overcome the difficulties of both cellular manufacturing system and functional layout system. With virtual cellular manufacturing system, groups of resources are dedicated to the manufacturing of a part family, but these cells are not real in the manufacturing system. In virtual cellular manufacturing system, machines remain in their original layout, and the machine cells are instead formed in the planning and control system and remain virtual in nature. In the present work, different models for the formation of virtual cell have been discussed. Factors that may affect the efficiency of manufacturing system have also been discussed.
