Cell generation includes the process like examining parts or machine populations, then based on similar manufacturing path or design features grouping those parts into one group and finally forming these machines into cells. One of the significant parameter measured in the cell generation or formation system is the Grouping Efficiency (GE). A few specialists have demonstrated that ART has been utilized to illuminate and investigations the cell arrangement issue for limiting the level and to expand the grouping efficiency (GE). In this paper, ART has been utilized to improve the efficiency of the system by combining with MOD and SLC. In order to calculate the actual manufacturing time delay in cell formation, four clustering algorithms based on arrays namely clustering methods like Single linkage (SLC), Modified Single linkage (MOD-SLC), Direct (DCA) and Rank order clustering (ROC-2) are commonly used. In the present research work, ART with Modified-Single Linkage Clustering (ART-MOD-SLC) method is performed most efficient than other methods. The operation of the proposed model executed with the actual period experimental and highlighted as performance graphs.
