Question: Five machines will constitute a GT cell.The From-To data for the machines are shown in the table below.
(a) Determine the most logical sequence of machines for this data, according to Monier Method 1, and construct the flow diagram for the data, showing where and how many parts enter and exit the system.
(b) Repeat step (a) only using Hollier Method 2,
(c) Compute the percentage of in-sequence moves and the percentage of backtracking moves in the solution for the two methods. Which method is better, according to these measures?
(d) Develop a feasible layout plan for the cell based on the better of the two Mother methods.
