Cell formation（CF）and cellular layout design are the two main steps in designing a cellular manufacturing system (CMS). Efficient grouping is the prerequisite of a successful Cellular Manufacturing, and it is too hard to obtain a perfect consequence of CF and layout simultaneously. In this paper, a two-stage strategy is used to solve CF problem and layout sequentially. At the first stage, the cells are formed based on the part-machine clustering results obtained through the genetic algorithm, to get the initial inter-cell layout. At the second stage, the genetic algorithm is used to improve the solution obtained, to minimize the handling cost and maximize the utility of the machines.

Machine Layout

Cellular Manufacturing is taken into account with advancing of the production mode of multi-product and small batch. Cellular Manufacturing includes cell foramtion, machine layout and cellular layout. Most researchers are foucing on the three contents respectively in their previous research. But these three contents are co-relation and the change in one content will affect the others and the result. So the integration mathmatical model of the cell formation, machine layout and cellular layout is put forward in this paper to abtain the minmum of material movement handling cost and machine depreciable and repair cost. At last this paper applies the model to machining workshop of XXX Company and gains a good effection.
