Creating Continuous Flow with Cellular Manufacturing......
Cellular Manufacturing entails completing a five step Cell Design process that includes; evaluating
which products to place in the cell, defining a desired production capacity, identifying the proper sequence of work, time
balancing the process, and the physical layout of equipment and work stations. A
properly designed cell can eliminate several wastes including, materials handling, excess motion, excess inventory, and a
variety of other wastes associated with traditional line layouts. The benefits to your company are higher productivity
(up to100 % higher that traditional line manufacturing), lower labor costs per piece and overall lower manufacturering
costs.
