Cellular Layout
CELLULAR LAYOUT
Cellular Layout is a one of the form of Hybrid layout
Cellular Layout was first described by U.S engineer in
1920’s but first implemented by Ohno
Cellular layout attempts to combine the flexibility of
process layout with the efficiency of product layout.
Cellular layout is based on the ‘Group Technology’
where dissimilar machines are grouped into work
centers called cells.
CONTD.
Cells are arranged in relation to each other so that
material movement is minimized. Large machines that cannot be split among the cells are
placed nearer to it Cells represents a small assembly line Layout between cells is a process layout
PFA is a group technology technique that reorders part
routing matrices to identify families of parts with similar
processing requirements

Revised Layout with Three Cells
U Shaped cellular layout
Place the workstations as closely as possible to minimize walking distances.
Avoid operator walking patterns that cross path& Position operators so they face outwards. Operators should stand, not sit. Position the workstations so the material moves
counterclockwise in the cell. Assign the entry and exit operations to the same
operator. Avoid or minimize the use of conveyors in low
volume/high variety cells. Rely on one-piece production. One-piece inspection
and one -piece conveyance.
Similar products are produced using group technology
CONVERSION TO CELLULAR MANUFACTURING
Step 1: Understanding the Current Conditions
Step 2: Converting to a Process-based Layout.
Step 3: Continuously Improving the Process.
Reported Performance Results from Cellular Manufacturing Implementations
ADVANTAGES OF CELLULAR LAYOUT
Reduced material handling and transit time Reduced setup time Reduced work-in-process inventory Better use of human resources:
Self-managed team, in most cases more satisfied with
the work that they do Flexible resource. Workers in each cell are
multifunctional and can be assigned to different routes
within a cell or between cells as demand volume
changes.
Cells Facilitate Rapid Flow and Efficient Processing Of
material And Information
DIS ADVANTAGES OF CELLULAR LAYOUT
Inadequate part families. Poorly balanced cells. Expanded training and scheduling of workers. Increased capital investment.
