Batch manufactcring is a dominant manufacturing activity in the
world, generating a great deal of industrial output. In the coming
years, we are going to witness an era of mass customization of
products. The major problems in batch manufacturing are a high
level of product variety and small manufacturing lot sizes. The
product variations present design engineers with the problem of
designing many different parts. The decisions made in the design
stage significantly affect manufacturing cost, quality and delivery
lead times. The impacts of these product variations in
manufacturing are high investment in equipment, high tooling costs,
complex scheduling and loading, lengthy setup time and costs,
excessive scrap and high quality control costs. However, to compete
in a global market, it is essential to improve the productivity in
small batch manufacturing industries. For this purpose, some
innovative methods are needed to reduce product cost, lead time and
enhance product quality to help increase market share and
profitability. What is also needed is a higher level of integration
of the design and manufacturing activities in a company. Group
technology provides such a link between design and manufacturing.
The adoption of group technology concepts, which allow for small
batch production to gain economic advantages similar to mass
production while retaining the flexibility of job shop methods,
will help address some of the problems.
