In a cell manufacturing method in which a main operator, who carries out main operations that include a plurality of steps in which parts are attached to a workpiece, is moved along with the workpiece so as to transit a plurality of stations at which auxiliary steps related to the main operations are carried out, preferably a main car on which the workpiece is mounted and on which the main operator rides and that automatically travels on a predetermined travel route that transits the plurality of stations, and a main operation platform apparatus that is a type of station and is provided with a main operation platform for carrying out the main operations so as to be movable are used, and then when carrying out at least a portion of the main operations in the main car, the main car and the main operation platform are moved in synchrony. Furthermore, a subsidiary car on which a subsidiary operator, the subsidiary operator carrying out subsidiary operations in which parts and/or jigs that are necessary for the main operations are prepared, is used, and the main car and the subsidiary car travel together so as to be able to transfer parts and/or jigs between the main car and the subsidiary car. |
