Manufacturing Work Cell Optimization: Design, Layout and Cycle Time Analysis

[Driveyoursuccess]

Thank you very much for your feedback. If you have any topics you would like me to look into, just send me a quick email. I am always looking for new and interesting things to discuss.

Great explanation! Make more videos, industrial engineer students appreciate it. Thanks!

You made to remember me which are important rules about to improve processes because we sometimes think about taking time cycle with cronometer and we don't consider what's the priotity about improve.
Greetings from Mexico.
I hope you make videos about more topics about lean manufacturing: line balancing, SMED, poka-yoke, Kan-Ban, VSM.

Should the productivity you mentioned and calculated in the video considered as availability?

Great video, Ian. Have you ever encountered the S-shaped cell in practice? I am having a hard time imagining it having a benefit over a double-U-shaped cell unless you're working around fixed obstacles. Can you inform me of the potential unique benefits of that layout?

Thanks, Your videos are so informative. Can you put out a video on Machine hour rate calculation for a CNC shop?

[kingschannel]

Very well explained video, Ian! You’re an incredible instructor!!!

Ian - great job, loving you're videos, please keep making them, really helpful.

Minimize and simplify are the easy parts. Having enough room in shops for the functionality portion can be an issue, as most shops square footage is barley enough. At least in the northeast, where real estate costs are high.

What would be the best layout for a production floor with no continuous lines...no two jobs are the same / all orders are custom designed

[zeglash]

Would it be possible to make a video addressing how to adapt lean manufacturing principles to high mix low volume environments?

[carlosib]

How do you quantify the loss time ?? How do u know those down time I guess you need to quantify by Good pieces ...

Nicely explained Ion .. grt job would love to learn Quality tools if possible

I'm not picking up how 204 units emerge from the cell in 255 minutes if the flow of the product through the cell is dependent on the accumulated efforts of all steps prior to the last. The last workstation of the cell is performing its task at a rate of 5. 5 minutes is that workstation's cycle time. Only 51 parts are leaving that cell in 255 minutes.

Hi there Ian, Do you mind helping me figure out how the design of process layout and service layout are similar?

[comicsans]

C.C.O.M.W.I.P. understand what that means. the elimination of MUDA give you what this gentlemen is generalizing on. This is a slimmed down version of the Toyota Production System. Keep up the good work.

amazing
thank you sir for sharing your knowledge

[yudhistiraperwirakristiant]

Thanks for information f👌 btw siapa yang disini gara gara tugas hayo

[Cokoladni]

Hey can u suggest some books on this topic (production line design)?
