Reduced setup time is another important factor with an MMC. With a stand-alone operation, you typically have an operator at each or every other machine. Because an MMC uses a work-setting station, a central location to load and unload parts, you can get much more out of your existing labor and reduce the time it takes to set up. The work in the cell can be arranged so that raw parts are loaded in one work-setting station and finished parts in another, allowing you to streamline your workflow.
