Integer Programming Models for finding Optimal Part-Machine Families

In this thesis, we develop integer programming models which find the optimal part-machine family solutions, that disaggregate a factory process at the lowest cost. The groupings created using the methods presented in this thesis can then act as the basis for the application of Group Technology, which...
