Description
Summary:This paper aims at studying and comparing the performance of a Dynamic Cellular Manufacturing System (DCMS) with a Classical Cellular Manufacturing System (CCMS). A case study has been realized through the use of a bench test and several measures of performance were collected. The study indicates that the DCM concept permit gains both in terms of performance and flexibility by capitalizing on the advances in computer science and information technology. Even though the dynamic cellular concept is in its early infancy, research being conducted tends to indicate that this new organization paradigm may be a serious rival to the classical cellular organization.
