Abstract
In this research, a model for computing the group similarity indices was developed. The grouping
objective functions and parameters were formulated and can be used for grouping parts into part families and
at the same time for computing similarity indices.
This module introduces the technique of group technology, discusses its general application in batch
manufacturing.
