Womack Jones 1996 - 5 homework problems due Nov 13th
2Topics
- Operation of cell Standard work
- Increase in production rate
- Video of cells
- L, l W for cell LlW
- Design of cell
- Comparison with job shop and flow line
3Cell Features
- Synchronized, sequential production
- Operator decoupled from individual machines
- Operator integrated into all tasks
- Goal single piece Flow
- Best with single cycle automatics, but can be
done manually too
4Machining Cell
Operator moves part from machine to
machine (including decouplers) by making
traverse around the cell.

9What is the production rate for this new
arrangement?
- Check max(MTj) lt CT
- Worker 1 70 lt 77
- Worker 2 120 gt76
- One part every 120 seconds
- Can we shift work off of the HM to reduce the
cycle time?

Operator waiting On machine
12What is the new production Rate?
- Check max(MTj) lt CT
- Worker 1 70 lt 77
- Worker 2 90 gt 76
- Hence Worker 2 will be waiting on Vertical
Mill 2
13What is the new production Rate?
- The new production rate is
- one part every 90 sec
- Pro and Cons Worker idle, cant speed up by
adding additional worker - Design for flexibility make
- Max(MTj) lt CT/2
14Alternative solution add 2 HMs
