Group technology (GT) has been considered a key concept to cope with multi-product, small-lot-sized production. One of the advantages of group production is to reduce setup times. It is often much advantageous when the number of parts in a parts family is large and the parts are machined in succession. Generally, when all of the parts in the parts family are assigned to a particular machine (or GT cell), it is difficult to balance the workload among the machines (or the GT cells). In this paper, a procedure is proposed to achieve workload balance among the machines by dividing the parts family into appropriate portions. The machine loading procedure under the balanced workload among the machines is developed to minimize the total production time (sum of group setup times and processing times). Numerical examples are demonstrated to show the effectiveness of the proposed machine loading procedure.
