Hmm, I'd say B) Processes. Anything else would just be weird, like grouping parts by how much they cost to make or where they came from. Processes is the way to go.

B) Processes, no doubt. Unless the parts are magically appearing out of thin air, the manufacturing process is key to group technology.

C) Source is also a factor to consider, where the parts come from can impact the manufacturing process.

A) Yields play a role too, you need to consider how much output you can get from each part.

I'm going with B) Processes. Although I did consider costs, because who doesn't love saving money? But processes make the most sense for this question.

B) Processes, for sure. Group technology is all about streamlining production, and that's all about the processes used to make the parts.

Definitely B) Processes. How else would you group parts with common characteristics? Yields, sources, and costs are just byproducts of the manufacturing process.
