(a) Explain how cellular layout can facilitate lean production. (5 marks) (b) A manufacturing company is considering to adopt cellular layout to facilitate its move to a lean production system. The following table summarises the relationships of 7 different machines and 9 types of parts in the production process. Use rank order clustering technique to group the machines into machine cells and cluster parts into part families (show your full workings).

Based on the machining requirements, the analyst has recorded the following table that shows the parts moves among the 4 machines. To From 1 2 3 4 1 0 5 0 25 2 30 0 0 15 3 10 40 0 0 4 10 0 0 0 i. Decide the machine arrangement sequence and show your full workings in your answer. (10 marks)
