Purpose: The purpose of this work is to present a method based on the application of method engineering, in order to eliminate downtime and improve the manufacturing cell.Design/methodology/approach: The research strategy employed was a case study applied to a manufacturing company to explore the causes of excessive dead time and low productivity. The methodology used was divided in five steps. The first corresponds to the analysis of the lathe and grinding process; the second is the elaboration of the man-machine diagram to identify dead times; the third is the application of the improvement proposal; the fourth is the redistribution of the cell to optimize the process; the fifth is to conclude from the results obtained.Findings: With the proposed method, the downtime was reduced by 41% and only 50% of the available labor is required, therefore, it is concluded that the method can be used to redesign manufacturing cells.Research limitations/implications: This research was limited to analyzing and improving human-machine interaction, since work is not just the machine, or the individual alone, or the individual manipulating the machine, therefore, no other tools were used to improve the time of machines operation.Practical implications: Designing a manufacturing cell that allows the operator to do his job with less fatigue and not adapt the operator to the job, as commonly happens.Social implications: Companies must show a greater interest in occupational health by including human capital in their optimization plans to avoid future harm to workers.Originality/value: The key contribution of this paper focused on developing a novel and practical methodology to design or re-design manufacturing cells to improve productivity considering the human factor, inspired by the main concepts of method engineering.

The authors of this paper aim to highlight the basic design of a flexible manufacturing cell destined for the final processing of water radiators used for AAVs, cell serviced by a serial modular industrial robot possessing in its kinematic chain structure three degrees of freedom, RRT SIL type. The paper outlines the concept, calculation and design of the (MRB) rotation module at the studied industrial robot’s base and of the (MT) translation module of the prehension device attached to the robotic arm. Depending on the organological elements that are part of the MRB rotation module and based on a rigorous dynamic study performed on robotic modules, modeling conducted with the help of Lagrangian equations of the second kind, a dynamic-organological calculation algorithm was obtained for the selection of the appropriate driving servomotor necessary to putting the rotation movable system into service. The last part of the paper deals with the flexible manufacturing cell, together with the calculations related to profitability, economy and investment return duration, following the implementation of the RRT SIL-type industrial robot.
