cellular layout

a defined work space (work centre) where multiple operations may be carried out by one or a group of individual(s). See CELLULAR MANUFACTURING, AUTONOMOUS WORK TEAMS, AUTONOMOUS PRODUCTION.

Hence, the aim of this study is to design a cellular layout using discrete event simulation, considering the most adequate distribution for each stochastic data such as client demand, batch size, mean time to repair, mean time between failures, and, finally, generate a scheduling for the first machine to impact its utilization rate.

It is included technological, subject, free, modular and cellular layout. Free machines layout was selected for the shaft production, because it was not possible advance exactly to determine the material flow, organizational and running relations and following individual operations.

There are still six workstations in this phase, but this time they are reorganized into a cellular layout going linearly from workstations one to six in a counterclockwise direction.

Using simulation to introduce engineering concepts: the combination of the simulation, discussions, and questions exposes students to a constructivist approach to learning that has been recognized as providing significant benefits for learning

At first, it seems that they are forced to adopt a traditional job shop layout, since group technology (GT) seems useless given the rapid ageing of classical cellular layout. But, a particular organization derived from cellular manufacturing does exist, it is the virtual cellular manufacturing system (VCMS).
