Abstract

In Chap. 5 we have developed the concept of multi-product, also called mixed-product, manufacturing cell, to maximize cell utilization and to increase at the same time the flexibility of a self-controlled manufacturing unit enouncing the following theorems:

  • Theorem of Generalized Throughput

  • Theorem of Lean Batch Sizing

  • Theorem of Cell Product Congruency

  • Theorem of Vulnerability of Mono-product Cell.
