Cellular manufacturing for small businesses: key cultural factors that impact the conversion process
通过两家小型制造企业的探索性案例研究，识别出影响单元制造转换过程的八个关键文化因素，帮助管理者理解文化障碍并提升实施效果。
Abstract Companies converting to cellular manufacturing (CM) often struggle with implementation and achieve results that are less than anticipated. The existing body of CM research, with its strong emphasis on technical aspects, does not provide practitioners with the assistance needed for successful implementation. Since organizational culture is a strong barrier to change, this research aimed to reveal how culture impacts the CM conversion process. Two exploratory case studies were conducted at small manufacturing companies leading to the identification of eight key cultural factors that impact CM conversion.
