[attachment=66598]
INTRODUCTION ABOUT GROUP TECHNOLOGY
Group technology was introduced by Frederick Taylor in 1919 as a way to improve productivity.
Group Technology Is a Manufecturing Techniqe And Philosophy To Increase Production Efficiency By Exploting The “Underlaying Sameness” Of Component Shape, Dimensions, Process Route, Etc. Group Technology is the realization that many problems are similar, and that by grouping similar problems, a single solution can be found to a set of problems thus saving time and effort. 3 phases of GT
Actions on the manufacturing process
Changes to the production process
Results for the organization
NOW INTRODUCTION ABOUT CELL MACHINE OR CELLULAR MANUFACTURING
Principle of GT: divide the manufacturing facility into small groups or cells of machines cellular manufacturing
Each cell is dedicated to
a specified family of part types (or few “similar” families).
Preferably, all parts are completed within one cell
a small group of machines, tools, and handling equipme
