Which of the following is not a feature of the cellular manufacturing?

Solution

Cellular manufacturing is a lean system that refers to a manufacturing strategy used to arrange different machines functionally in specific geometric layouts and larger functional units known as manufacturing cells to optimize the production process. The manufacturing cells are designed in such a way that each cell consists of all the machinery and workforce required to produce a product or a product family that is similar to each other. This leads to: ·         Enhanced production environment and  quality control ·         Improved capacity to produce high-volume, high-variety products at a fast pace ·         Substantial reduction in  manufacturing lead time  and waste ·         Smaller work-in-progress (WIP) inventory ·         Develop a highly versatile and efficient workforce
