This document discusses one piece flow/continuous flow manufacturing and cellular manufacturing. It defines cellular manufacturing as a production layout where equipment and workstations are arranged to facilitate continuous flow production with characteristics of small lot sizes and high frequency of style/model changes. Key benefits of cellular manufacturing include simplifying material flow and inter-department management, reducing production lead time and process time, simplifying scheduling, and allowing smaller lot sizes. Prerequisites for implementing one piece flow include having at least two connected processes, limiting and controlling work-in-process, using an andon system, implementing rapid response time, standardizing work, and having supervisors manage loading to packing as a single unit.
