The machine-part cell formation (MPCF) problem is to organize an assembly as a set of cells, where each cell contains certain machines that process a sub-set of parts. In recent years, different types of metaheuristics have been used to solve the problem of MPCF. This publication focuses on solving the MPCF problem using a metaheuristic inspired on birds, called Migrating Birds Optimization (MBO)...
The Set Covering Problem (SCP) is one of the most representative combinatorial optimization problems and it has multiple applications in different situations of engineering, sciences and some other disciplines. It aims to find a set of solutions that meet the needs defined in the constraints having lowest possible cost. In this paper we used an existing binary algorithm inspired by Binary Black Holes...
Machine-Part Cell Formation consists on organizing a plant as a set of cells, each one of them processing machines containing different part types. In recent years, different techniques have been used to solve this problem ranging from exact to approximate methods. This paper focuses on solving new instances of this problem for which no optimal value exists by using the classic Boctor�s mathematical...
