Volume matrix

Volume matrix is a grid that has the manufacturing process across the top and part numbers down the side. Part-number volume, in units and hours, is applied to the work content times (from the work content matrix) to segregate high- and low-volume products and determine the degree of variation and impact on the cell design.
