, • GT is a manufacturing philosophy in which simi
parts are identified & grouped together to mak
advantage of their similarities in design and
GROUP production.
TECHNOLOGY • Similar parts bare arranged into part families,
where each part family possesses similar desig
(GT) and/or manufacturing characteristics.
• Grouping the production equipment into mach
cells, where each cell specializes in the producti
of a part family, is called cellular manufacturing
, • 1925 – F.W.Taylor need for standardization, inspection and
supervision
• 1925 – R.Flanders presented a paper in
ASME about organisationing manufacturing,
USA.
• 1937 – A.sokolovskiy essential features of GT
at Soviety Union
History of
• 1949 – A.korling of Sweden presented a
paper in paris “Group Productiion”
• 1959 – S.P Mitrofanov a Russian, Published a book entitled
GT “Scientific Principal of GT”
• 1960 – west german and Great Britain started serios studies
GT technology
• H.opitz german researcher,
studied work parts
manufactured and coding system
• 1963 – Concept of GT is well recognized and widely applied i
many industries
• 1990 – concepts of CMS involved
, • Identifying the part families If the
plant makes 10,000 different parts
reviewing all of the part drawings a
Implementing grouping the parts into families is
substantial task that consumes a
Group significant amount of time.
Technology • Rearranging production
machines into cells It is time
(GT) consuming and costly to plan and
accomplish this rearrangement, an
the machines are not producing
during the change over.
