By changes in the customer values, the style of manufacturing is changing from the mass production to the small lot production of diversified products. In such a situation, the cellular manufacturing systems are receiving a lot of attention. However, the cellular manufacturing systems require operators with wide skills, and the productivity depends largely on their abilities. To improve the productivity of the cellular manufacturing systems, many researchers apply information technology to them. In this paper, we develop a workbench by use of tangible user interface. This workbench supports beginners of operation in the cellular manufacturing systems.
