| Abstract: | This paper compares a factory as a traditional job shop with the same factory as a hybrid factory with a cellular manufacturing unit. The comparison is based on simulation using differing combinations of capacities, allocations of jobs, and levels of productivity improvements achieved in the cell. Performance is evaluated in terms of flowtimes and delays for the cell, the non-cell remainder of the factory, and for the normal functional factory. The result is a systematic evaluation of cellular manufacturing, conclusions to circumstances that favour the use of cells, and implications for management practice. |
