The Effect of Parts Similarities on Machine Set-up Cost using Group Technology
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
One of the major challenges in manufacturing of parts is on how to keep the price of the products as low as possible and at the same time shortening the time of the production cycle. Group similarities brings solutions in reduction of set-up cost and saves time and effort in setting up an operations for a group of similar parts instead of treating each part individually.This paper analyses the relationship between group similarity index of parts within the group and the associated machine set-up cost to see how this can reduce the manufacturing the cost of the product. A model was applied for thirty different components manufactured by lathe machine and grouped into similar parts and at the same time for computing similarity indices.A statistical analysis was also carried out to ascertain the correlation between them.
