Abstract: Flexible cell formation is based on Group Technolog y. Group Technology rests on the exploitation of re semblances between products or processes, which makes the identification of pro ducts’ families and machines’ cells easier. We prop ose a new approach based on the language theory for product family grouping acc ording to their manufacturing sequences. This appr oach uses linear sequences of the manufacturing products which are assimilated to the words of a language. We have chosen the Levenh stein distance for sequence classification. We are going to compare our method to Dice-Czekanowski and Jaccard’s methods and apply the vectorial correlation coefficient as a comparison tool between two hierar chical classifications.

A Unifying Tool for Linear Multivariate Statistical Methods: The RV-Coefficient
P. Robert,Y. Escoufier +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that most classical methods of linear multivariate statistical analysis can be interpreted as the search for optimal linear transformations or, equivalently, the searching for optimal metrics to apply on two data matrices on the same sample; the optimality is defined in terms of the similarity of the corresponding configurations of points, which, in turn, calls for the maximization of the associated RV•coefficient.

An experiment investigating the application of clustering procedures and similarity coefficients to the GT machine cell formation problem
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the development of a number of similarity-based coefficients designed for applying hierarchical cluster analysis to the group technology machine cell formation problem, and also discuss an experimental investigation applying these and other well-known similarity coefficients in conjunction with some well known clustering algorithms.
