QRM Cell
The fundamental element of the QRM organization is the QRM cell. Building on the idea of cellular manufacturing. QRM cells are planned around a Focused Target Market Segment (FTMS) – a segment of the market in which shorter product lead times translates to maximum benefits for the organization. The resources in the cell are to be only used for the specific jobs in the cell.
. Resources in a cell are dedicated (only to be used for jobs in the cell), collocated (located in close proximity to each other) and multifunctional (cover different functions). QRM cells complete a series of operations ensuring that jobs leave the cell completed and there is no need to return.
The work organization in QRM cells is based on team ownership. Teams can decide how to complete the job once they are given the job and a completion deadline. In order to ensure swift response to high-variety demand, workers in QRM cells need to go through cross training
The main performance measure for a QRM cell is lead time as defined by MCT. To measure MCT reduction, managers can use the QRM number. A metric designed to show management lead time trends for cells.
