Similarity and distance measures for cellular manufacturing. Part II. An extension and comparison

What is it about?

We develop a very simple but effective extension of the similarity measures used for clustering machines into cells and part types into families. An extensive comparison of the new similarity measure and several others is performed.

Why is it important?

The new similarity measure is very easy to implement to obtain initial results for how to best cluster part types and machine types into part families and machine cells.
