Abstract: Abstract We propose an exact solution method based on semidefinite optimization for simultaneously optimizing the layout of two or more cells in a cellular manufacturing system in the presence of parts that require processing in more than one cell. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first exact method proposed for this problem. We consider single-row and directed circular (or cyclic) cell layouts but the method can in principle be extended to other layout types. Preliminary computational results suggest that optimal solutions can be obtained for instances with 2 cells and up to 60 machines.
