Developing a group of machine cells and their corresponding part families tominimize the inter-cell and intra-cell material flow is the basic objective ofthe designing of a cellular manufacturing system (CMS). Afterwards achieving acompetent cell layout is essential in order to minimize the total inter-cellpart travels, which is principally noteworthy. There are plentiful articles ofCMS literature which considered cell formation problems; however cell layouttopic has rarely been addressed. Therefore this research is intended to focuson an adapted mathematical model of the layout design problem consideringmaterial handling cost and closeness ratings of manufacturing cells. Owing tothe combinatorial class of the said problem, an efficient NP-hard techniquebased on Simulated Annealing metaheuristic is proposed henceforth. Some testproblems are solved using the proposed technique. Computational results showthat the proposed metaheuristic approach is extremely effective and efficientin terms of solution quality and computational complexity.
