Summary: Everything about CM and easy-to-understand.
Review: I personally had the chance to take Urban's Cellular Manufacturing class and discuss the entire book with him. Urban and Nancy did an excellent job explaining what cellular manufacturing is, what it does, how it improves the competetiveness of an organization with easy language. The best thing about this book is that almost everything mentioned in the book can be implemented and you will learn how. There is NO hard-to-understand formulas, too technical information, or any junk info you will never use. It also includes some real case studies from some European, African, and North American companies. You will find some survey results regarding the percent improvements these companies achieved as a result of cellular manufacturing. Besides the technical info covered in the book, you will also find some people-related issues and how to deal with them. For example, how to choose the cell employees, how to build a cell team, etc. In addition, the authors talk about some computer software, MPX, that can easily analyze a cell's performance, in terms of utilization levels of the machines/employees, lead times of the products, etc. If you are in the process of implementing cellular manufacturing or if you have cells but also have problems, you will definetely need to look at this book. A great book and a must-read.
