heal.abstract	An ant colony optimization (ACO) scheme for the manufacturing cells design problem is proposed, which uses a tight eigenvalue-based bound to guide and accelerate the search. This feature is combined with a good initialization procedure and with ideas from successful ACO implementations in other areas, to achieve efficiency and reliability with the minimum structure and set of parameters.
