Title: Machine-component grouping in production flow analysis: an approach using a rank order clustering algorithm
Abstract: Existing cluster analysis methods are reviewed and a new approach using a rank order clustering algorithm is described which is particularly relevant to the problem of machine-component group formation. A relaxation and regrouping procedure is developed whereby the basic rank order clustering method may be extended to the case where there are bottleneck machines.
