The main goal is to build an optimal design that reduces the movements of parts among cells. In this paper, we resolve this problem using a recent population-based metaheuristic called Hunting Search. This technique is inspired by the behavior of a herd of animals working together to hunt a prey. The experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach, which reach all global optimums for a set of 27 well-known instances.enacceso restringidoTheoretical Computer ScienceComputer Scienceconference paper
