Abstract
Abstract Group technology (GT) is a manufacturing concept aimed at alleviating the production problems of a proliferation of products with decreasing life expectancy and improved finality. This approach takes advantage of parts similarities parts can be grouped together based on design or manufacturing properties. One aspect that is currently missing from GT classification is grouping parts according to their behavioural parameters. Even parts that share the same group of machines can have diverse properties that suggest different scheduling and routing techniques. This paper- highlights the need for a different classification approach that categorizes parts according to similarity in control measures, This approach is used to construct group-technology based scheduling. This group-technology based scheduling is demonstrated for the open shop environment, and includes the clustering analysis, scheduling algorithms and results.
