The new factory layout planning in the traditional assembly line to Cell way how to transition

Factory Layout Planning in the traditional assembly line to Cell way how about transitioning to the following two major reasons:

Lean production and lean factory layout planning is for manufacturing enterprises can quickly respond to market changes and the proposed production model, manufacturing cell as the basic unit of production organization, with flexible production characteristics. Layout in accordance with the concept of lean production, known as lean factory layout planning. Its layout has a high degree of flexibility, fast response speed, small loss of transfer, etc., is a new layout concept for the contemporary manufacturing situation.

1, economic efficiency considerations, Cell production can reduce the number of operators.

①Corresponding advantages: reduce personnel, shorten the production lead time; increase flexibility (product/quantity), reduce the inventory of work in progress; reduce the number of maintenance and supervision.

②Disadvantages:Increased training time; difficulty in monitoring work speed within the cell. Cellular production is a new way of production that responds faster to changes in the environment and provides greater flexibility in production.

2, market considerations

Lean factory layout planning that the competitive advantage of the market from low-cost to differentiation. Competition rules from the "big eat small" to "fast eat slow" transfer, the so-called "speed economy principle".

Lean factory layout planning is an important issue for manufacturing companies, whether the equipment layout is reasonable, whether the workplace layout is scientific, whether the handling route is economic, smooth, are important factors affecting the manufacturing and management of enterprises. With the development of the economy, the front-end of the market to accelerate the speed of change, to mass production of discrete manufacturing industry is facing a severe market situation. In order to meet the individual needs of customers on the basis of lean factory layout is to achieve rapid low-cost delivery will be the main direction of the future development and transformation of manufacturing enterprises.
