Summary note

"Cellular manufacturing involves rearranging traditional operation-based factory layouts into process-based cells that promote a smooth production flow by cutting waste. Cellular Manufacturing: One-Piece Flow for Workteams introduces production teams to basic cellular manufacturing and teamwork concepts and orients them for participating in the design of a new production cell. Use this book to get everyone on board to reduce lead time, work-in-process inventory, and other profit-draining wastes."--Jacket.
