- The company culture has to encourage trust and participation, or workers can feel that they are being constantly pushed for more and more output with no respite.
- The company may have to invest in new materials - eg. handling and ordering systems suitable for cell production.
- Cell production may not allow a firm to use its machinery as intensively as in traditional flow production.
- Some small production lines may not yield enough savings to make a switch to cell production economically worthwhile.
- The allocation of work to cells has to be efficient so that they have enough work, but not so much that they are unable to cope.
- Recruitment and training of staff must support this approach to production.
