Processing Cells

l

Manufacturing cells are a key manufacturing technology that groups machines, processes, and people around the product.  The product stays within a relatively confined area in comparison to a traditional layout where the product moves around the plant to various functional departments.  Cells are a key technology for reducing cost, reducing customer lead time, and reducing work-in-process inventory.
