The National Shipbuilding Research Program. 1988 Ship Oroduction Symposium. Paper No. 11B: Applying Group Technology (GT) to Increase Productivity in a Job Shop Environment

Abstract

Decreasing the high cost of small lot production in a job shop environment is a continual problem for shipyard shops supporting extensive repair and overhaul work. In the past, reducing cost in this area has been a desirable, but mostly unattainable goal. However, continued development of computer solutions to manufacturing problems utilizing Group Technology methods has made significant savings in this area possible.
