Cellular manufacturing involves grouping parts and machines into cells to improve production efficiency. It uses group technology principles to organize parts with similar characteristics and corresponding machines into cells. This allows multiple operations to be performed within a cell in a continuous flow. Some benefits of cellular manufacturing include reduced setup times, material handling costs, and improved machine utilization and quality.

Manthan Rambade Introduction Principle Construction and working Advantages and disadvantages Conclusion Cellular manufacturing is a process of manufacturing which is a subsection of just-in-time manufacturing and lean manufacturing encompassing group technology cellular manufacturing is to move as quickly as possible, make a wide variety of similar products, while making as little waste as possible Cellular manufacturing involves the use of multiple "cells" in an assembly line fashion Each of these cells is composed of one or multiple different machines which accomplish a certain task Cellular manufacturing considerably reduces total manufacturing cost, time and area of manufacturing industries. Manufacturing industries who adopt cellular manufacturing get improvement in profit, productivity and production quality. Cellular manufacturing also helps manufacturers in defeating their competitors in global business scenario. If manufactures implement cellular manufacturing system in their manufacturing industries then they can fully satisfy their customers by selling high quality products quickly in reasonable price Cellular manufacturing uses the principle of group technology by grouping parts with similar characteristics into part-families and corresponding machines into machine cells in order to achieve higher production efficiency compared to traditional manufacturing. Cellular manufacturing is an integral part of lean manufacturing Some common formats of single cells are: the U-shape (good for communication and quick movement of workers) The straight line, or The L-shape First the components are divided into part families. Part families are nothing but a collection of parts that possess similarities in geometric shape and size or in processing steps used in their manufacturing. Then these part families are send to the cells. The cells are designed to perform one or more than one operation according to layout . And sent the component to next cell or assembly line . Reduction in work in process Reduced set up time Reduction in material handeling cost Reduction in material flow distance Improvement in machine utilization Improvement in quality Increase in profit Rush order can be produced without much problem Multiple operations get donr in single cell When new products manufacturing are required , if they do not fit into existing cell then whole manufacturing setup needs to be restructured When single machine is failure in cell , then whole cell is failure to perfom the given task. To implement cellular layout cost required is high Need to train workers for proper co-ordination with machines in cell . Machines always needs to be inspected Automobile industries Electronics industries Footwear industries Kitchen equipment industries Aerospace industries Foundries Clothing industries Food and bever Cellular manufacturing considerably reduces total manufacturing cost, time and area of manufacturing industries. Manufacturing industries who adopt cellular manufacturing get improvement in profit, productivity and production quality. If we implement cellular manufacturing system in a manufacturing industries then we can fully satisfy customers by selling high quality products quickly in reasonable price. THANK YOU
