Historically,this novel principle first came into being here in the United States in 1920,when Frederick Taylor supoortsd the idea of grouping that required special operations.He was followed by the Jones and Lamson Machine Company in the early 1920s,which used a crude form of group tecnology to build machine tools.
Today,group technology is implemented through the application of well-structured classification and coding systems and supporting software to take advantage of the similarities of components.
Reasons for adopting Group Technology
Modern manufacturing industries are racing a lot of challenges caused by growing international competition and fast-changing market demands.These challenes,which are exemplified in the following list,have been and can be successfully met by group technology:
As a result of the first factor,the conventional shop organization(i.e.,departmentalization by process) is becoming very inefficient and obsolete bacause of the wasteful routing paths of the products between the various machine tool departments.
There is a need integrate the design and manufacturing phases in order to cut short the lead time,thus winning a competitive situation in the international market.
(1)Benefits in product desing.Concerning design of products,the principal benefit of group technology is that it enables product designer to avoid “reinventing the wheel”,or duplicating engineering efforts.In other words,it eliminates the possibility of desiging a product that was previously designed because it facilitates storage and easy retrieval of engineering designs.
If the exact part design is not included in company’s computerized files,a design close enough to the required one can be retrieved and modified in order to satisfy the requirements.A further advantage of group technology is that it promotes standardization of design features,such as corner radii,chamfers,and the like,thus leading to the standardization of production tools and work-holding devices.
