Abstract
Cellular manufacturing (CM) is an application of group technology philosophy. It recognises the fact that small-to-medium sized batches of large variety of part types can be produced in a flow line manner in different manufacturing cells. The article proposes a method for introducing CM in a small-scale industry. By applying CM to produce part families with similar manufacturing processes and stable demand, plants expect to reduce costs and lead-times and improve quality and delivery performance. The article outlines a method for assessing, designing and implementing CM, and illustrates this process with an example.
