1. A method for planning product groups, comprising:
- providing a process group including a plurality of processes;
sorting said processes according to their respective production capacity;
selecting said processes whose sum of their respective production capacities in proportion to the total production capacity of said process group not less than a predetermined ratio;
according to said selected processes to define each of said selected processes as a product group; and
incorporating said unselected processes of said process group into said product groups according to process resemblance.

Abstract
A method for planning product groups is provided. The present method is characterized in that selecting processes from a process group according to the rule of the sum of production capacities of the processes in proportion to the total production capacity of the process group not less than a predetermined ratio and the demand production capacity per month of the processes not less than a predetermined value. Then, defining each of selected processes as a product group. Finally, incorporating the unselected processes of the process group into the product groups according to process resemblance.

5. A method for planning product groups, comprising:
-
providing a process group including a plurality of processes;
sorting said processes according to their respective production capacity;
setting a first predetermined ratio and a second predetermined ratio of the total production capacity of said process group, said first predetermined ratio larger than said second predetermined ratio, and the sum of both equal to 1;
selecting said processes whose sum of their respective production capacities in proportion to the total production capacity of said process group not less than said first predetermined ratio;
according to said selected processes to define each of said selected processes as a product group; and
