Abstract: One important issue regarding the implementation of cellular manufacturing systems relates to deciding whether to convert an existing job shop into a cellular manufacturing system comprehensively in a single go, or in stages incrementally by forming cells one after the other taking the advantage of the experiences of implementation. In this paper two heuristic methods based on multi-stage programming and genetic algorithm are proposed for incremental cell formation. The results show that the multi-stage programming solves small problems faster than exact algorithms such as branch and bound. A heuristic procedure based on genetic algorithm is developed on the multi-stage programming to test larger problem sizes.
