Manufacturing Knowledge Base

The ability to effectively plan a manufacturing cell is a fundamental skill needed by every supervisor, team leader, and manufacturing engineer. SME is proud to announce this valuable new training package created to help you do just that. It includes 3 DVDs, a textbook, and a workbook, which are based upon a proven and widely-used method called Systematic Planning of Manufacturing Cells (SPMC).

Together these materials comprise a ready to use kit for introducing, expanding, and improving the use of cells in your plant. The DVDs are a great way to get a quick overview of the subject and the planning procedures involved. DVD One introduces the basics of manufacturing cells and gives you a systematic approach for planning any kind of cell. DVD Two and Three show how to apply this step-by-step approach. The sessions in the workbook follow the journey of a typical cell-planning project, and correspond to a chapter in the text. The textbook provides essential details, valuable finer points, illustrations and examples.
