Abstract

The article presents points necessary for the production re-prophilation into the flexible one through the generation of so called flexible manufacturing cells. Mentioned are the reasons and effects which are brought by the flexible production. In general, the key to the generation of the flexible production is the group technology based on the principle of the material flow analysis. The variants of the possible solutions based on the material flows confirm that the problem of the flexible manufacturing cells generation is not an easy one and unambiguous either. But considering only this one criterion is not sufficient for the practice because it does not consider for example the number of the pieces. Therefore the present article in the principle points at the application of the multiplied criteria about the part or machine, based on which more specifically stated is the cell profile, as number of machines, type of machines, intercellular transfers and so on.

Keywords
