Cellular formation as part of manufacturing research is discussed here, with issues relating to the development, implementation and evaluation of machine manufacturing systems. Focusing on how machines are chosen for tasks and how they are grouped into efficient and cost effective assemblies, the editors provide techniques, methodologies, algorithms and tools for practical implementation considering today's computerized and automated manufacturing environments.
