Cellular manufacturing system is the nerve of industry in our days and many studies and researches discussed in this field . In this research row materials need to cross long distance about thousand meters during the manufacturing process to be final product in ALWAZIRIA ELECRICAL MOTOR FACTORY the problem was needed to reduce the routing of row material flow and increase flexibility with saving same operation sequence . First segmented the facility into subsystems called cells and figured the system output .the research goes in two ways first assign the problem and parameter affected on production process secondly apply the particle swarm to the problem after writing the algorithms. The particle swarm technique shows great flexibility in scheduling purposes problem. Also the product will cross about 400 m instead of 1000 m before using PSO after extracted the result which it discussed and recommended to the future researcher .
