What is cellular production?

The cell production system, often called Lean Manufacturing, is a relatively recent development in global production processes. One of the first and most common cellular or slim production systems is the Kaizen system. Kaizen, originally conceived by Toyota Corporation in Japan, uses technology and cell production to reduce loss of time, effort, money and resources in the production process. In the production line, many workers are needed to operate a single production line, which is done from receiving raw material to the transport of the finished product. The decomposition of personnel cast or machines in any part of the line almost always led to the whole process idle until the specific difficulties in the line or re -created were repaired. In cell production, production is divided between groups or cells of workers and manufacturing machines. Thus, the carcass of one cell due to a failure of equipment or staff problems does not radically affect the rest of the production process.

Although very technical and detailed, the concept of cell production is essentially simple; Get the finished product from raw materials after sending as significantly as possible and as important as possible. Cell production systems and layouts basically separate the production line on segments or cells, sometimes called modules. Each cell consisting of workers and manufacturing machines is devoted to a specific component of the product produced. Ideally, workers and equipment containing a particular cell are trained and configured so that they can take over the processes of other cells if necessary, minimizing downtime and waste of raw material.

It is clear that a significant investment in time and a money -plated or cellular system of production, especially in established production facilities, is required to implement. The process of modulating the production process usually includes both re-school workers and the reworking of the device. This process becomes much cheaper and time -consuming to implement JAKO part of the beginning production company. In established devices, the implementation process usually lasts several months, while the new equipment will integrate cell production procedures into the construction and training process.

Technology and cellular production have been combined to streamline the production processes of many established and beginning production facilities around the world. Slim systems such as Kaizen, and Six Sigma to name only two, albeit very often high starting costs, provide both short -term and long -term benefits in reducing waste in common for the traditional production line. Bottom line in any manufacturing company is profit. Cellulby has shown that AR production dramatically increases profits.
