4.1 The below table shows a machine-part matrix. 4.1.1 Use direct clustering algorithm to form cells for the above machine-part matrix. 4.1.2 Determine if the direct clustering algorithm derived cells have any conflicts and if so, resolve said conflicts such that each cell has its own dedicated machines. 4.1.3 Expound the operational and strategic rationale, feasibility, and implications for an organisation to form manufacturing cells versus other alternative manufacturing approaches.
