5.Reconfigurability:

A lean workcell that is properly built must be easy to reconfigure. In fact, it is a must to be able to adjust the process and go from good piece to good piece as fast as possible. Faster the changeover, less time is lost in production. Switching can be done in a matter of seconds with a strong quick-change fixture. As the situation requires, a variety of different fixtures may be kept at the workstation and swapped. At times, a lean cell must be rapidly attributed to process shifts or other variables to accommodate assembly of a new product, reconfigured or even relocated. In the ability to transfer each part of the work cell rapidly becomes extremely essential if a computer or workstation needs to be changed. The versatility required for rapid and efficient changeover is given by lockable casters on machines or workstations [28, 34].
