| dc.description.abstract | The study took place on small and micro enterprises that produce cultural clothing around Gulele subcity. These enterprises apply an informal ways of grouping for the products they produce. This act results in spending too much time looking for the exact product; estimating inaccurate price; spending too much time negotiating and explaining the characteristics of a certain product, This research mainly focuses on proposing an appropriate classification and coding system for Ethiopian cultural clothing. And it is expected that, application of group technology will assist in minimizing the problems stated above. A sample of 111 small and micro enterprises was studied for this research; in order to understand more about the features of cultural clothing. A questionnaire and a semi-structured interview were conducted to collect the required information regarding the attributes of cultural clothing and the problems that arise from applying an informal way of grouping. Therefore it was possible to create a part family based on the shared characteristics of cultural clothing. This act was assisted by applying DCLASS coding system for Tibeb kemis, Netela and Buluko. It is expected that users will understand the principle of this code and apply it for improvement. The cloths can also be documented for later use, so than producers will save energy and time from preventing duplication of effort when they try to draft previously designed cloth for the second and third time; estimate accurate selling price and minimize the time spent for negotiation. The coding system can also assist them to come up with new designs for the future market. Finally future researchers can apply group technology to the rest of Ethiopian cultural clothing.
