Abstract: Traditionally, design of cells in the context of cellular manufacturing systems and design of supply chains are analysed separately. This paper proposes an integration of these two distinct but disjoint design approaches. An illustrative example has been provided to describe the interrelationship between design issues in cellular manufacturing and supply chain design.
