Problem
"U-shaped" cells are a lean manufacturing tool used to produce high quality products efficiently, with the lowest cost (least amount of people), safely.
Where, outside of manufacturing, have you seen "U-shaped cells" to effectively produce a product? (Think outside of the box! Or include a link to an article/website) Where in more typical manufacturing have you seen "U-shaped cells" to effectively produce a product? (Or where could one be implemented in your facility.) What are the benefits? What are the challenges?
