Cluster Analysis of Lean Production Criteria in Cell Formation

Cellular manufacturing system (CMS) is known as an effective tool in lean production (LP). This system provides LP targets in shop floor level while decreases transportation, increases labor empowerment, facilitates product development and the like. However, LP is described by some basics and aspects such as pull, flow, value and so on. Thus, this article investigates effects of CMS on LP targets. In this due, several criteria in CMS are recognized. These criteria are then categorized respecting their effect on LP system and its target. This categorization is done applying fuzzy clustering approach while parameters face uncertainty. Finally, results are analyzed through related dgraphs.
