comparative study of the performance of pure and hybrid group technology manufacturing systems using computer simulation techniques C. L. ANG and P. C. T. WILLEytProblems of workload imbalance in Group Technology (OT) can be mitigated by transferring workloads from a congested machine centre in one cell to an alternative, less congested machine centre in another cell. Such inter-cell workload transfer results in a GT system which is a hybrid between pure GT (in which components are completely processed within a cell) and funotional layout (FL) (in which ('()lIlJHllwnts are router! from line depurt nu-nt of si III il
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
