Abstract(in English) In this paper, a new grouping method for Group Technology using ART-1 networks is proposed. The purposse of our study is to divide machines in a factory into any number of groups so as to minimize the number of crossing of parts between the groups. In our method, ART-1 is used to divide machines roughly. After that, adjusting algorithms are executed to satisfy specified grouping conditions (the number of groups, maximum and minimum number of machines in a group). Some experimental results show that our new algorithm is more effective than the grouping algorithm using SOM proposed by the authors.
