Abstract: Lean manufacturing has proven to be an effective strategy to increase productivity and cost competiveness in the manufacturing industry. Cellular manufacturing (CM) is one of the tool of lean manufacturing. Cellular Manufacturing is one of the initiatives that major businesses in the U.S have been to adopt in order to remain in an increasingly global market. It is a fairly new application of group technology. For effective analysis of existing layout for Carriage Building (CB) press shop and to propose new layout, its needed to examine operation like material travel distance for each part number, machineries used. In order to valid analysis here Clustering techniques are used.
Keywords: Lean Manufacturing, Cellular Manufacturing.
