Abstract
This paper presents a new approach to forming group-technology part families for cellular manufacturing. The approach is based on neural-network technology, which mimics the way biological brain neurons perform to generate intelligent decisions. A procedure of forming part families using parallel and simple artificial neurons is described with examples. The implications and advantages of using neural networks in group technology are discussed.
