PANTOJA, Cielo; OREJUELA, Juan Pablo  e  BRAVO, Juan José. Plant layout methodology in cellular manufacturing systems. estud.gerenc. [online]. 2017, vol.33, n.143, pp.132-140. ISSN 0123-5923.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.estger.2017.03.003.

This article proposes a plant layout methodology for flexible manufacturing systems, based on quantitative methods used to clustering product families, manufacturing cell formation and finally using multicriteria techniques. Fore product clustering, geometric criteria were taken into account and a modified p-median model was used for the formation of cells. Thus, the appropriate layout of facilities was chosen using the Analytic Hierarchy Process, evaluating different alternatives obtained from the Quadratic Assignment Problem model, which takes into account the desired number of cells to be created and the similarity coefficients used for cell clustering. The proposed methodology was tested through an actual case, being verified the suitability of the procedure in a Colombian company from the metalworking sector.
