A work cell layout is a type of process layout that arranges equipment and workers according to the sequence of operations performed on a product or service. A work cell layout can improve space utilization by reducing the amount of floor space needed for production, eliminating unnecessary material handling and storage, and increasing the flexibility of the layout. A work cell layout can also reduce cycle time, improve quality, and enhance worker motivation.
