Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we consider an exact model for cell formation, i.e. the model that directly minimises the amount of intercell movement. We show that the exact model is equivalent to the minimum multicut problem defined on an appropriate graph. Two MILP formulations are proposed and their performance is analysed using instances from the literature and an industrial case. Several types of realistic constraints are also considered and introduced into the model.
