Abstract: This paper seeks to recognise potential barriers affecting cellular manufacturing (CM) implementation in the Indian industry. First, nine barriers were identified based on an excessive and comprehensive review of the literature. Following that, an empirical survey of 42 Indian companies was conducted using a structured questionnaire. The principal component analysis (PCA) was used to analyse the data and find the most effective barriers to providing a practical solution. The study proposes three constructs: 'skill and design barrier', 'psychological and contextual barrier', and 'managerial barrier'. This is the first study of its kind in the Indian context, capturing professionals' perspectives from organisations implementing CM and the proposed conceptual framework. The paper's findings will help draw up a roadmap to identify and exterminate barriers to CM implementation.
