Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Addresses repetitive manufacturing (mass production), both from a systems planning standpoint and with approaches to improve operations. Offers guidance on bringing change to the manufacturing floor in order to enhance the competitive posture of the company. Provides a combination of common sense logic and a case study example to show how changes can be incorported in the planning systems for a mixed job-shop/flow-shop production environment. Chapters cover just-in-time manufacturing, continuous-flow manufacturing, focused factories, computer-integrated manufacturing, conversion from job-shop to repetitive manufacturing, systems support, materials planning, production reporting, and materials replenishment. Also covers aspects of yield management, line balancing, and forecasting.
