A Mathematical Programming Model for Cell Formation Problem with Machine Replication

Table 10

A secondary solution for Example 2, after applying a new limit for maximum number machines in each cell.

Cell number	Machine number	Part number
1	2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8	1, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 20
2	1, 3, 5, 6 [2]*	9, 13, 15, 17
3	1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8	2, 3, 4, 8, 11, 14, 16, 18, 19

∗Bracketed numbers show the number of corresponding machine assigned to each cell.
