In this paper we describe GTEX, an expert system that solves the problem of modifying the production plant layout, from job-shop to cells layout in the medium and short term, using Group Technology criteria. We also describe and discuss the development methodologies and the A.I. technology impact on the problem solution. Though the Group Technology problem has been deeply investigated in the past years, this project represents a new approach to it in that the solution is achieved by introducing hypothetical reasoning, heuristic criteria integrated with simple algorithms and interaction with the user. At present a first release of the system is under test against real production data supplied by a manufacturing company.
