Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Products flow through a cellular work system one piece at a time based on customer need. Cellular flow improves the velocity and flexibility to vary product type or features on the production line in response to specific customer demands. This minimizes the time it takes for a single product to flow through the entire production process.
