A Comparison of a Standard Genetic Algorithm with a Hybrid Genetic Algorithm Applied to Cell Formation Problem

Though there are a number of benefits associated with cellular manufacturing systems, its implementation (identification of part families and corresponding machine groups) for real life problems is still a challenging task. To handle the complexity of optimizing multiple objectives and larger size o...
