C. Manufacturing Cells (Group Technology)(Family of Parts Concept) The use of manufacturing cells represents a particular kind of factory layout for manufacturing equipment. The essence of the concept is that, when manufacturing a particular part or family of similar parts in substantial quantities, the equipment for successive operations on the part should be grouped together. The operator - or team of operators who make that part (or the family of parts) - operate all the equipment in the cell. This arrangement is in contrast to a more traditional factory layout that groups like equipment together in departments. Then parts move from department to department for each operation. The advantage of the cell layout is that lines of communication and transportation are made very short. The factorys through-put rate is speeded; work-in-process inventory is greatly reduced; when problems arise at one operation, their effect on subsequent operations is immediately recognized. Route sheets to control movement of parts through the factory are greatly 制造单元（组合科技）（概念单元集合） 制造单元的使用使生产器材在工厂中形成了一个很好的布局，这个概念的本质是，当以一定量生产一个详细的零件，对器件进行连续操作的设备应该被集成在一起。这些操作员或操作团队使这些零件或零件组流经每一个单元中的设备。这样的安排是和传统的工厂布局是相反的，传统的工厂布局中，设备都是集中在一起的，然后，零件的每一部操作在部与部之间完成。单元布局的优点是通信线和传输线都非常短。工厂的物料通过量的速率非常快，半成品存货量被大大降低，当一个问题出现在一个操作中，它所产生的影响对随后的操作会被马上识别。按成片流动的方式来控制通过这个工厂的零件转移被大大削弱或降低至0. simplified or not needed. Operators learn what is needed at each operation to avoid problems at subsequent operations and have the satisfaction of seeing the results of their efforts. Quality tends to improve. The dis- advantage is that there is apt to be lesser utilization of some equipment. There is also the necessity of having operators learn the operation of several kinds of equipment rather than specializing in one type. The concept is illustrated in Fig. 14C for one particular family of machined parts. Fig. 14G8 shows a more advanced system where a robot does the handling between operations. When a circular layout is used, the
