碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 工業工程研究所 === 83 === Group Technology (GT) is a manufacturing philosophy which can reduce operational wastes and can effectively manage complicated but similar information through properly classifying and grouping like things together. Major applications of group technology in manufacturing are generally recognized as part design, process planning, and production planning and control. In addition, a plenty of successful real- world practices of GT in purchasing, sales, and cost estimation have been reported in U.S.A., in P.R.C., and in European Countries in the last few decades. Although the concept of GT has been propagated in Taiwan's industries for at least ten to fifteen years, there are very very few practical applications been reported or survey. It is indeed necessary to have an extensive study of GT applications in Taiwan's manufacturers. This reserch focuses on the study of applications of classification and coding (C&C) techniques in transportation manufacturers whose potential in the application of GT concept is relatively higher. This pilot study presents a general profile of GT applications in Taiwan's transportation manufacturers. It provides a valuable references for the Industrial Bureau as well as corresponding coporate organizations in future assisting industrial upgrades. Equivalent studies to other industries are highly suggested.
