What is GT
1
Manufacturing philosophy in which the parts having similarities (Geometry, manufacturing process and/or function) are grouped together to achieve higher level of integration between the design and manufacturing functions of a firm
This type of manufacturing in which a part family is produced by a machine cell is known as cellular manufacturing
The group of similar parts is known as part family
The group of machineries used to process an individual part family is known as machine cell

Merely improvement of Quality would be waning away fact now a Days
How many organizations can have flexibility in manufacturing system without incurring high cost of setup and not requiring completely revamping the existing system?
If JIT can’t be affordable & then?
What shall be done to manufacture goods with existing system effectively?
How can Improvement in an existing manufacturing scenario is possible?
“Group Technologies (GT)” answers them to certain Extent

An initial Step towards revamping the existing system to factory automation A necessary step in maintaining a high quality level and profitable production Actions in manufacturing & production process to have higher flexibility, without increasing production cost or sacrificing product quality, thus leading to improved competitive position of firm.
It was observed that number of firms which are adopted GT become more flexible, and wanted to improve their productivity
