Popis: Group technology is an approach to manufacturing that attempts to enhance production efficiency by grouping similar activities and tasks together. The results of this process are then used in the execution of similar tasks and activities. This concept can be applied to a variety of activities such as design retrieval, purchasing, sales, and process planning [1]. Traditionally, classification and coding has been used to implement group technology. In this paper, however, we discuss a novel approach using neural networks, a technology noted for its powerful pattern-matching capability. Although this approach can be applied to the entire spectrum of group technology applications, we focus on an application to the retrieval and reuse of engineering part designs.
