Cellular manufacturing in closed loop manufacturing or manufacturing in form of cell such as "U' ,"C" or"O" shape of layout to minimize waste in process such backtracking of Man/Material etc. and make the process lean with lowest manufacturing cycle time. And also to improve Tac time of the process of manufacturing within the cell. The Single PC flow within the Cellular manufacturing process helps to reduce the inventory on the workstation to zero hence no waiting time for the processing job in flow manufacturing process Vs the standalone processing workstation. Optimized the manpower by cellular manufacturing layout as single persons can work on multiple station by clubbing the activities as per process study will impact in reduction of manufacturing cost. The Cellular layout ensure the pull manufacturing process so that the just in time can be implemented with the cellular manufacturing hence the raw material inventory can be drastically reduce and control with optimized processing cost per day. The reduce raw material/ in-process inventory will create space within the factory and also reduce or optimized space required for layout for cellular manufacturing vs traditionally manufacturing. The saved space in today's environment can always be seen as opportunity for manufacturing expansion and improve on continuous basis. Tushar Ahire:- Student of Benchmark 6Sigma.
