Summary :

In this paper, a new grouping method for Group Technology using Self-Organizing Map (SOM) is proposed. The purpose of our study is to divide machines in a factory into any number of cells so that the machines in each cell can process a similar set of parts to increase productivity. A main feature of our method is to specify not only the number of the cells but also the maximum and minimum numbers of machines in a cell. Some experimental results show effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.
