In today's business world, competitiveness defines the industrial
leading edge. Organizations and businesses of all sizes are
adopting Lean manufacturing practices to increase efficiency and
address worries about their bottom lines. In a detailed review of
this staple of Lean manufacturing, Cellular Manufacturing:
Mitigating Risk and Uncertainty outlines how cellular manufacturing
can do just that. It demonstrates how this approach can help you
and your teams build a variety of products with as little waste as
possible. The book begins by presenting a survey of the current
state of existing methods that can best be used in the handling of
the bottleneck machines and parts problem, which results from the
cellular manufacturing system design. It then explores how decision
making under risk is used to help the designer select the best cell
arrangement in case of probabilistic production volume and maximize
the profit imposed by resource capacity constraints. The author
then presents a method for the system design of a manufacturing
cell that aims for profit maximization over a certain period of
time. He also discusses robust design, illustrated with a real
application. Put simply, cellular manufacturing integrates
machinery and a small team of staff, directed by a team leader, so
all the work on a product or part can be accomplished in the same
cell eliminating resources that do not add value to the product. A
concise yet unique reference, this book incorporates decision
making under risk into cellular manufacturing. The text makes the
link that ties cellular manufacturing to the bottom line. It helps
you recognize savings opportunities from elimination of downtime
between operations, decreased material handling costs, decreased
work-in-progress inventory and associated costs, reduced
opportunity for handling errors, decreased downtime spent waiting
for supplies or materials, and reduced losses from defective or
obsolete products.
