Abstract

This paper will outline the changes in the manufacturing infrastructure and control system in the transformation of a medium sized one-of-a-kind manufacturing company based in South West England. The changes were based upon Group Technology cells and a dedicated control system designed to deal with uncertainty and lack of data. Initial results indicate reduced manufacturing lead times.
