Cellular Manufacturing

Cellular manufacturing is a manufacturing approach in which equipment and workstations are located in a number of close-proximity groups (‘cells’). Each cell is equipped to make a component or sub-assembly, or complete a standard sequence of process steps. This concept can improve factory efficiency, both by reducing distance travelled by materials, also by making it easier for workers to communicate about problems, changes and plans.

Certification

Certification is the procedure which enables a responsible authority to confirm a product, process or service meets relevant standards. In aviation, certification is a regulatory obligation. 

A Certificate of Airworthiness is issued or validated by the state in which the aircraft is registered, and remains effective only if maintenance is performed according to approved standards.
