Manufacturing Cell Design & Lean Principles
M. S. Ramaiah School of Advanced Studies 2
Aim : This presentation aims on the study of how the cell manufacturing designs helps to implement the lean culture.
Objective :The main objectives of this presentation are•Understanding the principles of lean.• Knowing the importance of cellular manufacturing in an industry.•Also to check how the implementation of cellular layout can help the organization to become more lean.
Aim & Objective

5 LEAN principles
Value - specify what creates value from the customer’s perspective.
The value stream – identify all the steps along the process chain.
Flow - make the value process flow.
Pull - make only what is needed by the customer (short term response to the
customer’s rate of demand).
Perfection - strive for perfection by continually attempting to produce exactly
what the customer wants.

Lean Building Blocks
M. S. Ramaiah School of Advanced Studies 5
Cellular Flow Manufacturing is a method of organizing manual and machine operations in the most efficient combination to maximize value-added content and minimize waste.
…is a lean manufacturing approach that helps companies build a variety of products for their customers with as little waste as possible.

Advantages/Disadvantages
Advantages:
• Reduce material handling
•Reduce tooling
•Reduced set-up times
•Reduced expediting
•Reduced in-process
inventory
•Improved human relations
Improved operator expertise
Disadvantages:
• Increased capital investment
• Lower M/C utilization
• Labor resistance (need for cross
training and flexibility)

One Piece Flow
…is a condition that exists when products move through a manufacturing process one unit at a time, at a rate determined by the needs of the customer.

Operating in a U-Shaped Cell
• Reduce travel distance by arranging equipment and workstations closer together.
• Beginning of process is closer to end of process….minimizes the travel distance for next cycle

Steps of Cell Design
1. Document the current process2. Define the product family and calculate
TAKT Time.3. Balance the work to create flow between
work-stations that meets demand4. Design the cell for ergonomics 5. Test and de-bug the cell design

Case STUDY
Arvin Electronics Inc. was established in 1997 in Europe. It was incorporated keeping a simple vision “giving customer power of choice to choose from varied range of quality products with good after-sales support and service at affordable price”. The whole idea was to give true value for money.

RESULTS (contd.)
Floor space reduction nearly 50%
Customer rejects reduced 95%
Scrap reduced 62%
Work in process reduced 91%
Changeover time reduced by 78%
Labor cost as % of sales reduced 41%
(Documented savings )

Conclusion
•The cell designing helps the organization to become more lean.
•The case study at Arvin electric clearly shows the various
benefits of implementing cellular manufacturing for the
organization as well as the customer.
•This type of layout helps in proper flow of material parts which
in turn reduces the inventory.
•All the 5 principle of lean i.e. Value, The value stream, Flow,
Pull and Perfection is followed by modifying the cell layout.
