Abstract
This study has concentrated on exploring the potential advantages of using group technology concepts in the Closing department of a shoe manufacturing factory. A simulation model of the factory has been developed to assist relevant experimentation and the results obtained have been evaluated by means of selected performance criteria encompassing throughout time, waiting time and delay ratio, machine and labour utilization.Keywords
