✦ Synopsis

A twenty-two digit alpha-numeric Group Technology System was established for the Aerospace Group of VSI Corporation. In addition, the planning for least cost processing planning generation has been completed using the Group Technology (G. T.) System. The G. T. System is also being used for the classical applications such as tooling, reduced set ups, process plans, identifying duplicate parts, etc., in addition to the planned least cost method. The least cost method uses a unique empirical production standards system in conjunction with the G. T. Code for its implementation.
