Simultaneous Modeling the Dynamic Cellular Manufacturing Systems and Sale Price

The classic cell formation problem allocates a group of machines to machine cells, classifies parts into part families, and allocates part families to machine cells for forming independentcells. In this study, an integrated CMS model composed of dynamic cell formation problem with regard to the income andprofits resulted from the sale of goods in all periods is extended. The proposed model regulates the market by setting prices andmakes decision on acceptance or rejection of all or part of orderson one hand, and on the other hand meets the customer's demands to provide a certain quantity of certain goods. Featureslike calculating profit, customer satisfaction, determining the appropriate price in order to supply of goods to customers,determining the appropriate point of demand acceptance, identifying profitable products and loss-making products, anddecision making toward the expansion or elimination ofmanufacturing units are innovations used in this model that there have not received much attention in cell production so far. To investigate the performance of the proposed model, a numerical example has been presented.
