Arranging machines in the correct process sequence, with operators remaining within the cell and materials presented to them from outside.

Definition A model for workplace design that improves efficiency by grouping similar processes into "cells." Each worker in a cell is expected to master the skills needed to perform all of t [..]

When dissimilar equipment and workstations to produce a family of similar components or subassemblies are arranged close together to save space and time, and simplify process routing and supervision. Workers are typically cross-trained to perform multiple tasks within a manufacturing cell (7).

A manufacturing approach in which equipment and workstations are arranged to facilitate small-lot, continuous-flow production. In a manufacturing "cell," all operations necessary to [..]

A technique of lean manufacturing that involves product being processed progressively in cells (groups of workstations, machines, or equipment) arranged in a way to facilitate the completion of a process, the assembly of a sub-component, or an entire product.  In this manner, workstations reduce wait time in between batches and significantly decrea [..]

A manufacturing approach in which equipment and workstations are arranged to facilitate small-lot, continuous-flow production. In a manufacturing "cell," all operations necessary to produce a component or subassembly are performed in close proximity, thus allowing for quick feedback between operators when quality problems and other issues [..]

An approach in which manufacturing work centers (cells) have the total capability necessary to produce an item or group of similar items.
