Özet
Group technology’s basic logic is grouping and producing products of the same type together.An important reason behind Group Technology becoming such an important topic is thatnowadays companies have quite an extensive range and workshop type production hasincreased. Both fuzzy clustering and rank order clustering methods use for grouping parts andmachines based on a part-machine matrix created from the production flow technique in orderto increase productivity and reduce cost and workmanship required. In this study, GroupTechnology techniques such as the rank order clustering and fuzzy clustering methods wereapplied in order to increase the efficiency of the production line, reduce transportation betweenmachines, and form a machine-parts groups in the wood cutting department of a furniturecompany producing modular furniture in Istanbul. The TOPSIS method was used to determinewhich products to take into account. According to results of the study, it is shown that fuzzyclustering method has overperformed rank order clustering method based on the evaluationcriteria which are group productivity with 21,36%, group efficiency with 43,21% and groupingmeasure with 82,33%.
