From a course description for a course on Manufacturing Practices:
Students examine some of the practice that many manufacturing operations have come to rely on to make their operations competitive, efficient, and cost-effective. Principles of lean manufacturing, value versus non-value added waste, 5S’s value system mapping, set-up reduction and quick changeover, cellular flow, building a lean culture, total productive maintenance, pull kanban, value/supply chain management, computer numerical control, robotics, group technology, and flexible manufacturing systems are examined.

circulation entre les cellules
This is what I understand from the list of items to be discussed for having translated and taught some courses and manuals about lean manufacturing: the flow of information AND of parts or materials between cells is an essential concept of lean manufacturing.
In French "circulation" does properly mean the quality expected: fluidity and proper organization of the flow.
Example in logistics, that uses the same concept:

ordonnancement par cellules de production
as far as I understand it, this refers to organizing the flow of raw materials by tailoring it to the needs of individual manufacturing cells..

LE205: Cellular Flow Manufacturing
In this one-day workshop participants will learn how to link and balance manufacturing operations to reduce lead times, minimize work in process, optimize floor space usage, and improve productivity. They will also experience the results of Cellular/Flow Manufacturing principles as applied in a life-like simulation.
First, they will learn the concepts of Cellular/Flow Manufacturing. Then, they help transform a traditional batch production area to a cellular layout — and see the dramatic changes in the way the product flows, so that customer demand is met — on time, every time. The instructor will lead the class through the MEP 5-step process for designing and implementing work cells.

flux intercellulaire
description of cellular flow management :
This hands-on course teaches how to link and balance manufacturing operations to reduce lead times, minimize work in process, optimize floor space usage, and improve productivity. The instructor leads the class through the MEP 5-step process for designing and implementing work cells, using a live simulation. This process applies to both assembly and machining applications.
The core idea here is the "cell" (cellule) another of Toyota's inventions in the area of lean manufacturing.

L’efficience des cellules manufacturières classiques dépend de l’homogénéité des gammes
d'opérations d’une même famille de produits. Idéalement, une cellule produit permet de réaliser
toutes les gammes d'opérations d'une même famille de produits, minimisant ainsi les flux intercellulaires. Avec le temps, les cellules produits se transforment en cellules procédées, puis
peu à peu, il y a une augmentation des échanges intercellulaires rendant les cellules désuètes (Greene et Cleary, 1985; Kusiak et Heragu, 1987); il s’agit du phénomène de vieillissement des cellules qui est amplifié par la fréquence des changements de la gamme de produits (Kusiak et Heragu, 1987). Dans le cas des PME, le vieillissement des cellules est souvent trop rapide et
décourage la plupart des dirigeants à adopter un mode de production cellulaire.
