Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Group technology classifies similar parts into groups and assigns them a code specifying size, shape, and processing requirements. This allows for standardized manufacturing processes and easier search and retrieval of information about parts. Therefore, each component must be identified by a coding scheme that specifies size, shape, and the type of processing. The other options are not necessarily required for group technology.
