Abstract

Cellular production is maintained to be a popular manufacturing and management philosophy, which is increasingly interested and intensified. In this study, group technology cells design and implementation project in a real life glass mould production system is described. All the stages of the project, the difficulties encountered, the strategies developed that overcome these difficulties and the performance improvements after the implementation of cellular production are explained in detail.
