Introduction to Cellular Manufacturing (CM)
• Product layouts (assembly lines, mass production one a few products on the same line) is the most efficient of the basic layout options
• Many products are not made in volumes that require a product layout
• Cellular manufacturing (group technology) – forms families of products that have common production requirements
• Locate machines, people, jigs, fixtures, drawings, measuring equipment, material handling equipment together (focused factory)

Introduction to Cellular Manufacturing
• The cellular approach is to organize the entire manufacturing process for particular or similar products into one group of team members and machines known as a "Cell".
• These "cells" are arranged in a U-shaped layout to easily facilitate a variety of operations.
• Parts or assemblies move one at a time (or in small batch sizes).
• The parts are handed off from operation to operation without opportunity to build up between operations.

Introduction to Cellular Manufacturing
• Fast setup and quick changeovers are essential to Cellular Manufacturing systems since production runs are shorter.
• Setup reduction principles are used to achieve one piece flow and mixed model synchronization.
• All cells concentrate on eliminating waste.

Empowered Employees in CM
• Goals and tracking charts are maintained and posted.
• Problems are solved through daily cell meetings and problem solving teams.
• The inventory management system is a KANBAN Demand Pull instead of a work order/kit picking system.
• Cells are responsible for planning, scheduling and expediting directly with vendors.
• They establish and maintain a KANBAN system with the vendors.
![Page 8: 1 Lamar University Cellular Manufacturing Adapted from:](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bf731a28abf838c7f36f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Advanced CM
• The cell operates like an independent business with total responsibility for quality, manufacturing and delivery of the product to the customer.
• All cells have the resources within their organization to accomplish their mission.
• The requirements are known and goals are established.
• Cell members are flexible and work in teams to accomplish their goals including continuous improvement.

Benefits of CM
• Common tooling required for many products (fewer setups)
• Tooling can be justified since many products require it (more volume when products are grouped)
• Minimized material handling
• Simple production schedule
• Short cycle time
• Low WIP
![Page 10: 1 Lamar University Cellular Manufacturing Adapted from:](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bf731a28abf838c7f36f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Benefits of CM
• Cross-training – employees operate several machines
• Minimized material handling costs – since no paperwork is required and distance is small
• Employees accept more responsibility of supervision (scheduling of parts within cell, scheduling of vacation, purchasing of material, managing a budget)
• Simple flow pattern and reduced paperwork
• Buffers are small if batch size is small

Disadvantages of CM
• Lower equipment utilization
• Increased set-up costs
• Less flexibility than functional departments

Family Formation
• Various levels – macro and micro
• Macro – entire factories (focused factories) can specialize in a particular type of part
• Micro – families can be based on similarities in part geometry (group shafts, flat parts, gears, etc…), process requirements (castings, forgings, sheet metal parts, heat-treated parts, printed circuit boards)
• How are these groupings determined?
– Coding
![Page 13: 1 Lamar University Cellular Manufacturing Adapted from:](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bf731a28abf838c7f36f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13Lamar University
Finding Part Families
• Visual Inspection of physical parts or photographs to identify similarities.
• Coding and Classification of parts by examining design and/or manufacturing attributes.
– OPITZ System
– MICLASS System
• Here a code is assigned to specific features of the part.
– Is the part cylindrical or prismatic ?
– Does it have threads?
– Does it have through slots?
– Does it require heat treatment?
• This requires a large initial time investment in coding and classifying all parts.
![Page 14: 1 Lamar University Cellular Manufacturing Adapted from:](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bf731a28abf838c7f36f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14Lamar University
Finding Part Families
• Production Flow Analysis : Since the parts in a part family have similar manufacturing processes, it is possible to identify similar parts by studying the route sheets.
• Parts with similar routes can be grouped into families.
![Page 15: 1 Lamar University Cellular Manufacturing Adapted from:](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bf731a28abf838c7f36f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Group Analysis
• To create part families and machine groups a part-machine matrix is created.
• This is a 0-1 matrix in which a one signifies that a machine is required for a given part.
• While creating this matrix the machine refers to a "type" of machine.
• Thus, if there are 5 identical CNC lathes we will create one row in the matrix for these lathes.
• Also, the number of times a part visits a machine is not considered at this stage
![Page 16: 1 Lamar University Cellular Manufacturing Adapted from:](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bf731a28abf838c7f36f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16Lamar University
Group Analysis
• Once a the part-machine matrix is created, it is customary to remove approximately 10% of the most heavily used machines.
• Several copies of these machines are likely to be available and thus it is always possible to split these machines between different groups later.
• The remaining matrix is then inspected for part families.
![Page 17: 1 Lamar University Cellular Manufacturing Adapted from:](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bf731a28abf838c7f36f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17Lamar University
Group Analysis
• To identify the part-families the rows and columns are interchanged such that a block-diagonal structure is obtained. There are several algorithms that can be used to do this. A simple algorithm for this problem can be described as follows:
– Pick any row and draw a horizontal line through it.
– For each 1 in the row that has been crossed once draw a vertical line through the corresponding column.
– Pick each new column identified in the previous step. For each 1 in the column that has been crossed once draw a horizontal line through the row.
– Repeat this process until there are no singly-crossed 1s in the matrix.
– Remove the rows and columns that have been crossed to form a part family-machine group.
– Continue for the rest of the matrix

Coding
• GT coding and classification schemes attempt to capture design and manufacturing attributes such as the main shape, size, features of the product, production quantity, and material.
• A large number of GT coding schemes have been developed for discrete machined parts including MICLASS, Opitz and DCLASS
![Page 20: 1 Lamar University Cellular Manufacturing Adapted from:](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bf731a28abf838c7f36f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20Lamar University
Coding
• Code should contain information about:
• Part or assembly itself
• Manufacturing process (manufacturing engineering, industrial engineering, tool engineering, scheduling, line supervision, quality assurance, etc…)
![Page 21: 1 Lamar University Cellular Manufacturing Adapted from:](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bf731a28abf838c7f36f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21Lamar University
Coding Requirements
• Precise nonambiguous meaning, no double or triple definitions for the same phrase
• Tightly structured and concise
• Easy to use
![Page 22: 1 Lamar University Cellular Manufacturing Adapted from:](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bf731a28abf838c7f36f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22Lamar University
Coding Options
• Codes can be chain or hierarchical
• Chain – each digit’s specific location is fixed for a particular meaning
• Chain Example –
– First digit is reserved for the product type
– Second digit for material
– Digits 3-6 for part geometry
![Page 23: 1 Lamar University Cellular Manufacturing Adapted from:](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bf731a28abf838c7f36f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23Lamar University
Coding Options
• Chain Advantage – easy to learn
• Chain Disadvantage – requires more digits making it difficult to handle manually and with low power computers (not as big a problem today as the price of computers has dropped)
![Page 24: 1 Lamar University Cellular Manufacturing Adapted from:](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bf731a28abf838c7f36f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24Lamar University
Coding Options
• Hierarchical code – each code character depends on the preceding one – a tree type structure
• Advantages – code can be sort since many branches can be eliminated
• Disadvantages – difficult to learn
![Page 25: 1 Lamar University Cellular Manufacturing Adapted from:](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bf731a28abf838c7f36f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Code Generation
• CM codes are typically generated manually or interactively by answering a series of questions and applying appropriate coding rules.
• However, this is a slow and inconsistent procedure which inhibited the widespread use of CM.
![Page 26: 1 Lamar University Cellular Manufacturing Adapted from:](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bf731a28abf838c7f36f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26Lamar University
Opitz Coding Scheme
• Shah and Bhatnagar developed an automated CM coding system based on the Opitz coding scheme for machined parts.
• The system assigns pre-defined taxonomy codes for each feature of its feature-based CAD system.
• The generic information captured by the taxonomy codes is used to determine individual feature characteristics and the relationships between features and the entire parts.
• The CM code generator uses the resulting feature information and Opitz coding rules to generate the CM codes.
![Page 27: 1 Lamar University Cellular Manufacturing Adapted from:](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bf731a28abf838c7f36f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Using Codes
• Comparing the CM codes of two products is a quick and efficient method for estimating product similarity in selected attributes.
• CM codes can be used to search a database of products and retrieve the designs and process plans of those products which are similar to a given design
• To generate new process plans automatically using a knowledge-based system
• To assess manufacturability of a product design

Cell Layout
• Usually U, L or circular shaped
• Minimizes transportation distance for operators (human or robotic)
• Encourages multiple machines per operator
• Most machines are automatic or semiautomatic, resulting in considerable idle time
• In a job shop (functional layout) there is one operator for each machine
![Page 29: 1 Lamar University Cellular Manufacturing Adapted from:](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bf731a28abf838c7f36f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Supply Push
• Input availability triggers production or work
• Emphasis on “keeping busy” to maximize resource utilization as long as there is work to be done
• Will synchronize supply with demand at each stage if:
– If all information (about product recipe, processing lead times, and part inventories) is accurate
– If forecasts of finished goods are correct
– If there is no variability in processing
![Page 30: 1 Lamar University Cellular Manufacturing Adapted from:](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bf731a28abf838c7f36f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30Lamar University
Demand Pull
• Output need triggers production
• Each station produces only on demand from its customer station
• Each station signals demand by picking up a part from its input buffer
• The supplier station produces a new unit as a replacement in the buffer
• Toyota formalized demand pull with cards called kanbans
![Page 31: 1 Lamar University Cellular Manufacturing Adapted from:](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bf731a28abf838c7f36f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31Lamar University
Kanbans
• Kanbans are attached to output flow units in the buffer between customer and supplier processes
• Each card lists the following information:
– Customer process
– Supplier process
– Parts description
– Production quantity
![Page 32: 1 Lamar University Cellular Manufacturing Adapted from:](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bf731a28abf838c7f36f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32Lamar University
Kanbans
• As the customer withdraws output flow units from the buffer, the attached kanban goes back to the supplier
• It signals an authorization for the supplier to produce the listed quantity to be replaced in the buffer
• Upon producing the required quantity, the supplier returns the output with an attached kanban to the buffer
• Kanbans control buffer inventory and provide information and discipline to the supplier as to when and how much to produce
• In the case of a process that handles multiple products, each supplier station must also know what to produce
