Its main aim is to provide a reliable tool that can be used by managers and engineers to design manufacturing cells based on their own preferences and constraints imposed by a particular manufacturing system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The book under review is a very good source … continuing the long term passion of Panos Pardalos and his collaborators in exact solution of difficult problems … . It also adds a very valuable contribution to the body of knowledge of the cell formation problem that can be used in both teaching and research including in bioinformatics.” (Boris Mirkin, Optimization Letters, 2015)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
