group technology and design and manufacturing
Group Technology is manufacturing philosophy which similar parts are identified and group together to take advantage of their similarities in design and production. But, Cellular Manufacturing is organizing the production equipment into machine cells, where each cell specializes in the production of a part family. On the other word, cellular manufacturing is an application of GT in which dissimilar machines or processes have been aggregated into cells, each of which dedicated to the production of a part, product family, or limited group of families. According to the GROOVER book "automation and production systems, and computer-integrated manufacturing"
"Group technology is the technique of identifying and bringing together related or similar parts in a production process in order to utilize the inherent economy of flow production methods." Group Technology layout is also called manufacturing cell layout.¡ Example:A plant producing 10,000 part numbers may be able to group the parts into 50 or 60 families. Each family would possess similar design and manufacturing characteristics.Hence, the processing of each member of a given family would be similar, and this results in manufacturing efficiencies in the form of:
