Abstract
After the assignment of parts and machines to manufacturing cells are made, it would be advantages to consider duplicating bottleneck machin es, as in the long run significant savings in material handling costs can be realized. In this paper, we consider the effect of machining ti me saved over and above the savings in material handling costs in the development of the model. Comparative results obtained from solving an example problem demonstrate that this effect could indeed be signific ant under certain levels of budgetary restrictions.
