In today’s environment of escalating competition, companies are adapting their management and production strategies, and product diversity is rapidly increasing. Companies require cellular manufacturing systems to produce products with high diversity in a short amount of time, ensuring the desired quality and meeting customer expectations. Cellular manufacturing systems, which have a more flexible structure compared to traditional production systems, are a good and effective solution for managers. Cellular manufacturing is an approach that aims to produce products with varying diversity in the shortest possible time and at the lowest cost, targeting an increase in efficiency. In this study, a cell manufacturing system proposal is made and cell formation is carried out to increase efficiency and effectiveness in a company that manufactures industrial refrigeration cabinets. A productivity-based 0-1 integer mathematical programming model is prepared that facilitates the simultaneous grouping of part and machine families in cell formation. In addition to the intracellular and intercellular transportation costs found in productivity-based models in the literature, labor costs, maintenance costs, the depreciation costs of the machines used in the cells, and the waiting costs of the machines are also added to the prepared model. The model is solved with the help of the GAMS 23.5.1 software package, creating part families and machine groups. Group efficiency values are measured, and the current and proposed situations are compared.

Operating rooms (OR) are one of the most expensive parts of a hospital with complex processes, and the efficient use of resources is of utmost importance. Therefore, proper management and operation of operating rooms are extremely crucial. OR scheduling ensures that the surgeries are performed at the proper time, patients are treated effectively and safely, resources are used effectively, and staff is increased in work efficiency. Furthermore, accurately scheduled surgeries are safer for patients' healing processes. This is dependent on factors such as the availability of qualified personnel at the appropriate time, the readiness of surgical equipment, and the provision of proper sterilization and hygienic conditions. Surgical team scheduling ensures that surgeries begin on time, are completed effectively, and patients are treated safely. It is also critical to reduce employee fatigue and balance the workload. As a result, integrating surgical teams into operating room scheduling problems provides significant benefits. Accordingly, 29 research articles focusing on the problem of OR scheduling, within the scope of constraints on surgical team members, scheduling strategies, uncertainties, and solution methods, are thoroughly reviewed in this study.
