While Group Technology has been widely used in batch manufacturing, its potential benefits in automotive manufacturing are not yet well understood. This paper shows how Group Technology can be used to link databases, standardize designs, manage design changes, standardize purchased parts procurement, and to provide important feedback between manufacturing and design operations. The paper demonstrates that Group Technology can contribute to cost reduction and increased manufacturing efficiencies in automotive environments.
