Abstract

Abstract The paper provides a comprehensive review of the various approaches that have been adopted in an attempt to solve the problem of forming machines into groups and components into associated families in Group Technology, A new and more efficient version of the previously published ROC algorithm, implemented interactively, is described together with a new relaxation procedure for bottleneck machines.
