B.2.4:5.1 - Production Cell Capability

A milling machine, robot arm, fixture, and inspection station can remain a collection of assets even when a scheduling rule for their use is available. A new production-cell candidate becomes current only when exact capability, functioning, coordination, and transformation-flow facts cannot be explained by any single component or the old aggregate. Cell-level cycle time and tolerance measurements may support the claim; they do not create the candidate or those facts.

Use A.6.F for function-like wording, A.3.4 for transformations, E.18 for transformation-flow structure and C.30.TFS-REL for its bounded architecture use, A.15.1 for performed work, C.16 for cycle-time and tolerance characteristics, and B.2 only when the cell whole must be reidentified.
