On the one hand this study presents an ISM modelling of 1o well accepted manufacturing flexibility dimensions. On the other hand it introduces two manufacturing cell formation heuristics in a simple and lucid manner. The heuristics have the ability to consider manufacturing flexibility and production related parameters in a simple manner. Both the heuristics are based on commonality score based clustering algorithm, however Heuristic-II has the ability to go with any other clustering procedure. It would be useful in realistic manufacturing cell formation for low to mid-size FMS.

With increasing use of computerized system in every field engineering sector is also advancing with it. FMC is latest in this regard consisting of machines as well as material handling systems. The production rate is fast as the wear and tear of machines. The wear and tear is to be taken care of as it will affect the production. Therefore certain maintenance policies can be used to lessen the idle time taken for maintenance of the machines.
