摘要
The problem of grouping of parts has been addressed in the past using clustering methods and integer programming. This paper presents an assignment model to solve the grouping problem. A similarity coefficient matrix is used as the input to the assignment problem. Closed loops in the form of subtours are identified after solving the problem and are used as the basis for grouping. The method has been applied to a number of examples. Compared with the earlier mathematical programming model, viz., the p-median model, the assignment method emerges as a distinctly superior technique both in terms of quality of solution and computational time. © 1990 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
