Group
technology is a manufacturing
technique and philosophy to increase
production efficiency by exploiting the
underlying sameness of component
shape, dimensions, process route, etc.
A manufacturing philosophy in which
similar parts are identified and grouped
together to take advantage of their
similarities in design and production
Applications
Identify and reuse similar process
plans
Identify and reuse similar CNC
programs
Identify the equipment that may be
best used in a particular machine
cell
Identify and eliminate redundant
inventory
Cellular Manufacturing
GT exploits the part similarities by utilizing
similar processes and tooling to produce them.
Machines are grouped into cells, each cell
specializing in the production of a part family
called cellular manufacturing.
Cellular manufacturing can be implemented by
manual
or
automated
methods.
When
automated, the term flexible manufacturing
system is often applied
Problems in Implementing GT
Identifying the part families
Reviewing all of the parts made in the plant and
grouping them into part families is a substantial
task
Benefits
Facilitates formation of part families and machine
cells
Quick retrieval of designs, drawings, & process
plans
Reduces design duplication
Provides reliable workpiece statistics
Facilitates accurate estimation of machine tool
requirements and logical machine loadings
Permits rationalization of tooling setups, reduces
setup time, and reduces production throughput
time
Benefits
Allows rationalization and
improvement in tool design
Aids production planning and
scheduling procedures
Improves cost estimation and
facilitates cost accounting
procedures
Provides for better machine tool
utilization and better use of tools,
fixtures, & people
Facilitates NC part programming.

PFA Logic
Advantages of using route sheet data
Parts with different geometries may
nevertheless require the same or similar
processing
Parts with nearly the same geometries
may nevertheless require different
processing
PFA Steps
Data collection
operation sequence and machine routing for each
part(number)
PFA chart
each pack is displayed on a PFA chart
Also called a part-machine incidence matrix
Cluster analysis
purpose is to collect packs with similar routings into groups
Each machine group = a machine cell
