“…The product family has received much attention in the literature and has been referred to by many names, including product grouping, product family formation, parts-machines grouping, product clustering, product bundling and product aggregation (Navaei and ElMaraghy, 2014; Abdi, 2012; Kashkoush and ElMaraghy, 2016). A product family refers to a collection of similar products derived from a common platform and equipped with special features and functions to satisfy customers’ particular needs (Mostafa and Elmaraghy, 2021; Jiao et al , 2007; Meyer and Lehnerd, 1997).…”

Purpose This study aims to propose a quantitative approach to reduce the number of suppliers in an organization. This method is based on grouping, and different parts are grouped based on the capabilities they need and are allocated to suppliers who have these capabilities. In this regard, an integrated model for supplier reduction and grouping of parts using a group technology-based algorithm is proposed. Design/methodology/approach Design science research methodology was used in this study. The main problem under investigation is a large number of suppliers in an organization’s supply base. The proposed model was used to solve this problem in the electric motor industry. Findings The results of implementing the proposed model in the electric motor industry showed that reducing suppliers had a significant effect on reducing cost, increasing information sharing, increasing supplier innovation and technology, enhancing the relationship between buyers and sellers and reducing risks in the production process. Practical implications From a managerial point of view, reducing the number of suppliers plays an important role in the company’s overall strategy, and seems to be a prerequisite for building a strong supplier partnership and an effective supply chain, and will have many benefits for the focal company and suppliers. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, grouping and formation of product families have never been performed based on the similarity of the operational capabilities required for producing parts, and it has not been addressed as a solution for reducing suppliers.

“…The model is used to co-plan the common platform components and associated product families simultaneously with its corresponding mixed-model assembly line. Moussa and ElMaraghy [16] manage the product variety through designing multiple product platforms based on the features commonality between the different variants where the number of the platforms, the features in the optimum platform and platform customization in the differentiated variants are the outputs of the optimization process. The authors proved that the product flexibility and responsiveness to the orders are improved, and the storage costs are reduced.…”

Nowadays manufacturers are facing several challenges to compete in the marketplace. One of the main challenges can be described by the need to offer a range of products and categories in addition to shortening the time during which the product is brought to the customer while maintaining low costs to achieve maximum profitability. Several approaches emerged during the past couple of decades that enabled designers and manufacturers to offer the product variety within a product family on one hand and allowing flexibility and responsiveness at the manufacturer’s side on the other hand. This study addressed the problem of product platform design with the objective of minimizing the manufacturing costs incurred in the platform manufacturing phase and the mass customization phase. A genetic algorithm model that minimizes the total manufacturing cost is developed where optimum product platform design is determined. The developed model is used to study the effect of demand proportion of different product variants within a product family on the platform design and the total manufacturing cost.

To overcome the problems of long production cycle and high cost in the product manufacturing process, a P2P (platform to platform) cloud manufacturing method based on a personalized custom business model has been proposed in this paper by integrating different technologies such as deep learning and additive manufacturing (AM). This paper focuses on the manufacturing process from a photo containing an entity to the production of that entity. Essentially, this is an object-to-object fabrication. Moreover, based on the YOLOv4 algorithm and DVR technology, an object detection extractor and a 3D data generator are constructed, and a case study is carried out for a 3D printing service scenario. The case study selects online sofa photos and real car photos. The recognition rates of sofa and car were 59% and 100%, respectively. Retrograde conversion from 2D data to 3D data takes approximately 60 s. We also carry out personalized transformation design on the generated sofa digital 3D model. The results show that the proposed method has been validated, and three unindividualized models and one individualized design model have been manufactured, and the original shape is basically maintained.
