Benefits of cellular manufacturing (CM) based on Group Technology (GT) in batch production have been long established in the area of flexible advanced manufacturing systems. This type of manufacturing systems are to make a balance between highly efficient mass production systems and highly flexible job shop systems, and are typically suitable for mid-size batch-based manufacturing systems. SEATPLY Products Inc. in Montreal area is to convert its mainly job-shop based systems to cellular manufacturing systems for productivity and system flexibility enhancement. The proposed research will use available numerical tools and develop new simulation and/or optimization tools for converting wood product job shop to manufacturing cells. The research challenges are expected in the analysis of numerical results for system implementation. Practical aspects related to wood product manufacturing such as work-in-process inventory, mold inventory and management, cell interactions, labor force capacities, etc., will also be taken into account. The outcome of the research will lead to improved product quality, smoother material flows, reduced workforce fluctuations and desirable inventory levels and eventually yield higher production efficiency and lower production cost, making SEATPLY more competitive in this sector of important Canadian industry.****

基于成组技术的元胞制造（CM）在批量生产中的优势在柔性先进制造系统领域早已确立。这种类型的制造系统是为了在高效的批量生产系统和高度灵活的作业车间系统之间取得平衡，通常适用于中型批量制造系统。位于蒙特利尔地区的SEATPLY产品公司将把其主要的作业车间系统转换为细胞制造系统，以提高生产率和系统灵活性。拟议的研究将使用现有的数值工具并开发新的模拟和/或优化工具，以将木制品作业车间转换为制造单元。在系统实现的数值结果分析中，预计研究将面临挑战。与木制品制造有关的实际方面，如在制品库存、模具库存和管理、细胞相互作用、劳动力能力等，也将被考虑在内。研究结果将导致提高产品质量，更顺畅的物料流动，减少劳动力波动和理想的库存水平，最终产生更高的生产效率和更低的生产成本，使SEATPLY在加拿大重要工业的这一领域更具竞争力。****
