An industrial case is presented in this paper where the existing job shop layout is converted to a cellular structure using a typical percentage utilization based bi-objective cell formation technique. The aim is the total cell movements. The African Buffalo Optimization (ABO) algorithm is used to obtain the stated cellular structure. The proposed algorithm obtains an initial solution based on random machine cells and part families using percentage utilization. Thereafter, it improves the solutions based on performance metric. The obtained solution shows improved parts movement.
