Group Technology

Published February 2000

An organizational scheme for manufacturing and processing operations in which purchased items and fabricated parts are classified and numerically coded to reflect similar attributes such as geometric shapes, dimensions, tolerances and raw material composition. Group technology management maximizes production efficiencies by:

• Simultaneously performing similar activities to avoid wasteful change-over time;
• Avoiding unnecessary duplication of efforts by standardizing closely related activities;
• Reducing the search time for information related to recurring problems.
