Description
This book shows managers how to gain control of a manufacturing facility by matching plant capacity to production needs. Meticulously detailed, the authors reveal how a combination of tools such as just-in-time, MRP II, lean manufacturing, and finite scheduling can be used to obtain confusion-free, efficient operations in a single or multi-plant environment.
