CELLULAR MANUFACTURING It is an application of
group technology in manufacturing in which all or a portion of a firm’s manufacturing system has been converted into cells

CELL FORMATION APPROACHES
Machine - Component Group Analysis is based on production flow analysis
44
Production flow analysis involves four stages:
Stage 1: Machine classification.
Machines are classified on the basis of operations that can be performed on them. A machine type number is assigned to machines capable of performing similar operations.
55
Stage 2:Checking parts list and production route information.
For each part, information on the operations to be undertaken and the machines required to perform each of these operations is checked thoroughly.
66
Stage 3: Factory flow analysis.
This involves a micro-level examination of flow of components through machines. This, in turn, allows the problem to be decomposed into a number of machine-component groups.
77
Stage 4: Machine-component group analysis.
An intuitive manual method is suggested to manipulate the matrix to form cells. However, as the problem size becomes large, the manual approach does not work. Therefore, there is a need to develop analytical approaches to handle large problems systematically.

EXAMPLE:
Consider a problem of 4 machines and 6 parts. Try to group them.

Benefits of Cellular Manufacturing1. Flow times are reduced
2. Saves process time
3. Reduction in inventories
4. Rush orders can be produced without much problems
5. Employees feel empowered & derive job satisfaction
6. Multiple operations get done in a single cell
11
Limitations of Cellular Manufacturing1. Issues like placement of bottleneck
machines are need to be addressed during cell formation
2. Machines may require their own individual stocks of materials
3. Inadequacies in employee education, training & involvement could come in the way of proper implementation

GROUP TECHNOLOGY
Group technology (GT) is a philosophy that works in three different ways:
1. By performing similar activities together
2. By standardizing similar tasks
3. By efficiently storing and retrieving information about recurring problems
13
Group Technology
Group technology emphasizes on part families based on similarities in design attributes and manufacturing, therefore GT contributes to the integration of CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing)
The group of similar parts is known as part family and the group of machineries used to process an individual part family is known as machine cell

Group technology is a management strategy to help eliminate waste caused by duplication of effort.
BENEFITS OF GROUP TECHNOLOGY

BENEFITS OF GROUP TECHNOLOGY
It affects all areas of a company, including:
engineering equipment specification facilities planning process planning production control quality control tool design purchasing service
1616
BENEFITS OF GROUP TECHNOLOGY
Some of the well-known tangible and intangible benefits of implementing GT :
1. Engineering design
• Reduction in new parts design• Reduction in the number of drawings through
standardization• Reduction of drafting effort in new shop drawings• Reduction of number of similar parts, easy retrieval of
similar functional parts, and identification of substitute parts

BENEFITS OF GROUP TECHNOLOGY
2. Layout planning
Reduction in production floor space required Reduced material-handling effort
1818
BENEFITS OF GROUP TECHNOLOGY
3. Specification of equipment, tools, jigs, and fixtures
Standardization of equipment Implementation of cellular manufacturing
systems Significant reduction in up-front costs
incurred in the release of new parts for manufacture

BENEFITS OF GROUP TECHNOLOGY
4. Manufacturing: process planning
Reduction in setup time and production time Alternative routing leading to improved part
routing Reduction in number of machining operations
and numerical control (NC) programming time

BENEFITS OF GROUP TECHNOLOGY
5. Manufacturing: production control
Reduced work-in-process inventory Easy identification of bottlenecks Improved material flow and reduced warehousing
costs Faster response to schedule changes Improved usage of jigs, fixtures, pallets, tools,
material handling, and manufacturing equipment

BENEFITS OF GROUP TECHNOLOGY
6. Manufacturing: quality control
Reduction in number of defects leading to reduced inspection effort
Reduced scrap generation Better output quality Increased accountability of operators and
supervisors responsible for quality production, making it easier to implement total quality control concepts.

BENEFITS OF GROUP TECHNOLOGY
7. Purchasing
Coding of purchased part leading to standardized rules for purchasing
Economies in purchasing possible because of accurate knowledge of raw material requirements
Reduced number of part and raw materials Simplified vendor evaluation procedures
leading to just-in-time purchasing

BENEFITS OF GROUP TECHNOLOGY
8. Customer service
Accurate and faster cost estimates Efficient spare parts management, leading to
better customer service
