An Implementation Methodology for Transition from Traditional Manufacturing to Cellular Manufacturing Using Axiomatic Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper provides a framework and a road map for people who are ready to transform their traditional production system from process orientation to cellular orientation, based on Axiomatic Design (AD) principles. A feedback mechanism for continuous improvement is also suggested for evaluating and improving the cellular design against preselected performance criteria. A complete implementation of the proposed methodology at a local manufacturing company and resulting performance improvements are also provided.
