Report of the introduction of group technology (small group working) in an engineering company manufacturing tools. Significant financial gains are achieved but the real qualities of the new system relate to the harmony of the human organisation, top management - supervisor - operator. The case introduces the student to group technology through the appendix and enables the student to study the interrelationship of the machine human paperwork systems.
