Cellular layout

Items

We have laid out the shop floor so that processes and machines are in close proximity to each other.
We have organized our plant floor by means of manufacturing cells.
Our machines are grouped according to the product family to which they are dedicated.
The layout of the shop floor facilitates low inventories and fast throughput.
Our processes are located close together, so that material handling and part storage are minimized.
