“…Typically, job-shops are production systems where machines of the same type are grouped into functional sections to manufacture the full range of products demanded by the market. As a functional section usually includes more than one machine, the pooling synergy effect occurs [6]. Hence, each functional section executes one type of transformation process or function (e.g., machining, turning, and milling) in the entire production process.…”

Cellular production is usually seen as a hybrid approach between job-shop and flow-line paradigms, reducing the major disadvantages of these two paradigms: the low productivity of job-shops and the low flexibility (in terms of products' variety) of the flow-lines. This paper describes the implementation of a production cell in a production unit of woodframed pictures and mirrors, which was originally configured as a traditional job-shop, without losing the necessary flexibility to face market demand and simultaneously increasing the production unit's performance. By implementing a highly flexible cell, very significant improvements were expected for the system's overall performance and the quality of the products. These expectations were met, and the implementation was successful, as demonstrated by the results presented.

“…On the other hand, cellular manufacturing has the advantages of shorter setup time and shorter travel distance [5, 6, and 10-13]. In addition, some researchers have provided further insights into the parameter ranges or conditions in which either cellular manufacturing or the job shop could be superior [14][15][16][17][18][19].…”
