This learning package introduces production teams to basic cellular manufacturing and teamwork concepts and orients them for participating in the design of a new production cell.

You will learn:

• Waste reducing benefits of organizing the workstations in cells, so that work flows smoothly in the process sequence.
• What to expect when you work in a manufacturing cell — a U shaped arrangement, minimal inventory, moving with the work, and multi-machine operation.
• Steps you will experience as you design and convert to a cellular arrangement.
• Team-based tools for cellular manufacturing, including concepts such as 5S, mistake-proofing, and autonomous maintenance.

The package includes: a Leader's Guide, 5 copies of Cellular Manufacturing: One-Piece Flow for Workteams , 1 copy of One-Piece Flow: Cell Design for Transforming the Production Process, and a CD filled with additional presentation materials.
