Abstract (2. Language): 
Cellular manufacturing system is one of the modern manufacturing methods which has been recently utilized with industries because of its advantages. Cellular manufacturing is one of the applications of group technology in manufacturing systems which deals with the determining of machine cells and part families. The determining process is called cell formation problem. In this paper, the cell formation problem is formulated as a multiple travelling salesman problem with applying the dissimilarity coefficient defined as the cost of traveling between two nodes. To verify the performance of the proposed method, a number of test problems selected from the literature are solved and the obtained solutions are compared with those of previous well-known methods using the grouping efficacy measure.
