Description
This unique book provides a guide to the selection of appropriate production and manufacturing methods for postgraduate and professional
manufacturing engineers.
It starts by helping the reader to identify the required objectives of industrial management for their particular
situation. Having identified the objectives an analytical assessment of the available production and management methods is made. The
analytical system presents an objective method of production selection. For example, this practical book will help the reader to decide
whether or not a local Just-in-Time process is needed or a full chain JIT method is needed. Alternatively the problem may be deciding
between set-up time reduction or changeover time reduction. Should TQM be ceded to PCIs? This book covers nearly all methods of production
and manufacturing and will prove the most comprehensive guide to choosing and using these methods.
Audience
Postgraduate students and industrial managers in manufacturing industry and academia. Relevant to all industries from food to cars to microchips and aircraft.
