When the idea is applied to manufacturing, you end up with a workcell in which one person or a few people can make a product by themselves, instead of having workers lined up on an assembly line doing just their part. Assembly lines create big piles of inventory between workstations, while workcells allow complete jobs to be done rapidly and Just-in-Time.
