Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to explore group technology (GT) identification and coding concepts studied and applied in a non-traditional manner. Accordingly, the discussion is limited to innovations in techniques and/or technologies associated with coding systems, and innovations in the focus of retrieval, with respect to the information used for encoding and retrieval, or the population of entities being retrieved.
