Abstract
Integrated manufacturing, the simultaneous collaboration of specialized functions, brings manufacturing engineering, quality engineering, and test engineering in during the early stages of the design process. The work cell integrates the design, development, and procurement functions in the new type of manufacturing. To redesign manufacturing around the work cell, companies must train engineers and managers in statistical quality techniques, put engineers and managers through apprenticeships in all phases of their businesses, encourage employees to adopt attitudes that foster integration of functions, and organize integrated task forces.
