3. Group Technology / Cellular Manufacturing1 Introduction As early as in the 1920ies it was observed, that using product-oriented departments to manufacture standardized products in machine companies lead to reduced transportation. This can be considered the start of Group Technology (GT). Parts are classified and parts with similar features are manufactured together with standardized processes. As a consequence, small "focused factories" are being created as independent operating units within large facilities. More generally, Group Technology can be considered a theory of management based on the principle that "similar things should be done similarly". In our context, "things" include product design, process planning, fabrication, assembly, and production control.
