Group Technology and Cellular Manufacturing (GT/CM) have been
widely-researched areas in the past 15 years and much progress has
been made in all branches of GT/CM. Resulting from this research
activity has been a proliferation of techniques for part-machine
grouping, engineering data bases, expert system-based design
methods for identifying part families, new analytical and
simulation tools for evaluating performance of cells, new types of
cell incorporating robotics and flexible automation, team-based
approaches for organizing the work force and much more; however,
the field lacks a careful compilation of this research and its
outcomes. The editors of this book have commissioned leading
researchers and implementers to prepare specific treatments of
topics for their special areas of expertise in this broad-based
philosophy of manufacturing. The editors have sought to be global
both in coverage of topic matters and contributors. Group
Technology and Cellular Manufacturing addresses the needs and
interests of three groups of individuals in the manufacturing
field: academic researchers, industry practitioners, and students.
(1) The book provides an up-to-date perspective, incorporating the
advances made in GT/CM during the past 15 years. As a natural
extension to this research, it synthesizes the latest industry
practices and outcomes to guide research to greater real-world
relevance. (2) The book makes clear the foundations of GT/CM from
the core elements of new developments which are aimed at reducing
developmental and manufacturing lead times, costs, and at improving
business quality and performance. (3) Finally, the book can be used
as a textbook for graduate students in engineering and management
for studying the field of Group Technology and Cellular
Manufacturing.
