Abstract: Abstract This work aims to define and rate essential criteria to improve an organization's success in implementing cellular manufacturing (CM) using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP). A two-stage methodology is proposed for this work. First, the literature review and expert discussion recognize 15 criteria for adopting CM. Second, it suggests a simple model to rank the criteria using the FAHP. Under the fuzzy setting, the FAHP technique constructs weights of the recognized essential criteria. It will assist organizations in developing strategies for dealing with implementation of the CM and continuously ensuring performance enhancement. Research finding suggests that the top-ranking criteria are multi-skill employee, employee training, robotics, setup time reduction/elimination plans and group technology. The suggested model is seen as extremely beneficial for company managers and practitioners to take methodical decision to efficiently implement CM within the organization. The strength of this study is that examining the prioritization and ranking of CM implementation criteria is one of the first studies.
