Definition of GT
GT is an engineering and manufacturing philosophy that groups parts together based on their similarities in order to achieve economies of scale in a small-scale environment.» economies of scale is associated with
large-scale production» economies of scope is also realized

Need for GT
need to improve productivity in a job shop or batch production.
approx. 75% of all manufactured parts in the US are made on a small lot basis.
need for design retrieval and cell mfg. grouping similar parts should improve
design and manufacturing efforts - HOW?? - (design, mfg., and tool engineers)

Importance of GT to CAD/CAM Integration
GT facilitates structuring and archiving of product data e.g. design and manufacturing attributes.
provides common language for users. facilitates integration of different part-
related information. GT is key to CAPP-computer aided
process planning.

Grouping Methods – [ Bedworth Figs. 5.3
and 5.4]
![Page 17: Egekwu.3311 ISAT 331 Module 3: GROUP TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS PLANNING.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e495503460f94b3bccf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
egekwu.331 17
Methods for Developing Part Families
Three Basic General Methods (A) Manual Visual Search
– low reliability, not used in formal GT application– different knowledge of processes result in
different groupings– differences in identification of important
attributes– groupings differ ‘cause different tool/machine
combination can be used in fabricating a part.
![Page 18: Egekwu.3311 ISAT 331 Module 3: GROUP TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS PLANNING.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e495503460f94b3bccf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
egekwu.331 18
Part Families Development contd.
(B) Production Flow Analysis (PFA)– analyzes sequence of operation for part
fabrication (Route Sheet- show transparency).– parts that go through similar operations are
grouped together– machines used for the operations are also
grouped together– mach./component chart is formed and sorted -
clustering techniques are often used– depends on accurate routing sheets.
![Page 19: Egekwu.3311 ISAT 331 Module 3: GROUP TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS PLANNING.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e495503460f94b3bccf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Part Families Dev’t contd.
(C) Classification and Coding– coding involves the assignment of
representative symbols to a part– symbols relate to different part attributes– coding system is unique to a company– expensive but payback is high because it forms
basis for design info. retrieval & cell production– for robustness, design and mfg. attributes are
coded - E.G. shape, material, size; and tolerances, processes, tool requirement, etc.
![Page 21: Egekwu.3311 ISAT 331 Module 3: GROUP TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS PLANNING.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e495503460f94b3bccf/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
egekwu.331 21
Classification and Coding contd.
There are many coding systems for GT application - no single system is universally accepted
3 basic types of systems are:» hierarchical (monocode)» attribute (polycode, a chain code, discrete
code or fixed-digit code)» hybrid (mixed)
![Page 22: Egekwu.3311 ISAT 331 Module 3: GROUP TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS PLANNING.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e495503460f94b3bccf/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
egekwu.331 22
Hierarchical Code
characters in a code are dependent on the meaning of previous characters
characters “amplify” the information of the previous character
adequate for capturing design specific information (shape, material, size, etc.)
not robust enough for analyzing process-related information.
![Page 23: Egekwu.3311 ISAT 331 Module 3: GROUP TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS PLANNING.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e495503460f94b3bccf/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
egekwu.331 23
Example-Hierarchical (Bedworth fig. 5.6)
![Page 24: Egekwu.3311 ISAT 331 Module 3: GROUP TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS PLANNING.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e495503460f94b3bccf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
egekwu.331 24
Attribute Code
Characters are independent of others in the code
each part attribute is assigned a specific position in the code
preferred by manufacturing - easy to identify parts that require similar processes
disadvantage - code could be very long.
![Page 25: Egekwu.3311 ISAT 331 Module 3: GROUP TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS PLANNING.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e495503460f94b3bccf/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
egekwu.331 25
Example - Attribute Code (fig. 5.7)
How might one use attribute code for retrieving part families that require identical processing?
![Page 26: Egekwu.3311 ISAT 331 Module 3: GROUP TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS PLANNING.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e495503460f94b3bccf/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
egekwu.331 26
Hybrid Code
combines the benefits of an attribute code (ease of identifying specific part features) and the need for a compact code (data base space and management)
![Page 27: Egekwu.3311 ISAT 331 Module 3: GROUP TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS PLANNING.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e495503460f94b3bccf/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Clustering Techniques: Single-Linkage Clustering Algorithm (SLCA)
algorithm utilizes similarity coefficient to group parts requiring similar process
similarity coefficient is calculated for each pair of machines to ascertain:» how alike the 2 machines are based on number of
parts that “visit” both machines and» number of parts that “visit” each machine only
(and doesn’t visit the second machine).
![Page 41: Egekwu.3311 ISAT 331 Module 3: GROUP TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS PLANNING.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e495503460f94b3bccf/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
egekwu.331 41
SLCA - Similarity Coeff.
Sij = a/(a+b+c)
» where,» s = similarity coefficient between mach i and j» a = # of parts common to both machines» b = # of parts that visit only machine i» c = # of parts that visit only machine j
Determine similarity coefficient between machines A and D - fig. 5.21.
![Page 42: Egekwu.3311 ISAT 331 Module 3: GROUP TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS PLANNING.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e495503460f94b3bccf/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

egekwu.331 43
SLCA Steps
calculate pair-wise similarity coefficient for each machine - coefficients will form a symmetric matrix
identify largest coefficient. - the associated machines form initial cluster
identify largest remaining coefficient - associated machines are also grouped
![Page 44: Egekwu.3311 ISAT 331 Module 3: GROUP TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS PLANNING.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e495503460f94b3bccf/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
egekwu.331 44
SLCA contd.
repeat steps 2 and 3 above until all machines are clustered into one group - or until a threshold is reached.» threshold level is used to control number of
clusters formed. see fig. 5.23, Table 5.6 and fig. 5.24

Advantages/Disadvantages of SLCA
An Advantage of SLCA is that it provides a powerful systematic way of grouping machines for GT mfg.
Disadvantages:» no clear direction on how to achieve ideal machine-
groups. To decide, one need info. on a) no. of inter-group/intra-group movements b) machine utilization c) planning and control and d) bottleneck machines.
» Chaining can occur – page 209 of Bedworth.

Enhancements to SLCA
Anderberg’s Algorithm:» Sij = 2a/(2a + b + c)
» this gives more weight to similar machines and thus limits or controls Chaining.

Average - Linkage Clustering Algorithm
(ALCA)
Sij= sij / (Ni x Nj)
» where:
» sij = sum of similarity coefficient between all machines of the two groups
» Ni, Nj is no. of machines in group i and j, respectively.
Example: machines A and B belong to group i and machines C, D, and E to group j; Calculate SAB, CDE

Facility Design with GT
facility layout is critical to many manufacturing performance measures
3 major types of machine (process) layout - line, functional, group/cell layout» Discuss in terms of: work balancing,
operational costs, material handling, setup, throughput, production control - capacity planning, job scheduling.
