Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Group technology (GT) is a manufacturing system that groups parts according to their physical characteristics, machine routings through a factory, and similar machine operations. This allows for more efficient production, as similar parts can be produced in batches and machine setups can be optimized. Computer-aided process planning (CAPP), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and computer-aided design (CAD) are all related software tools and processes, but they are not specific manufacturing systems.
