Riassunto

This text presents the basic system concepts while providing more detail and rigor than the conceptual descriptions found in many operation management texts. Mathematical decision models and tools for improving systems are described. In discussing production systems, the authors go beyond addressing the basic what questions, and provide guidance on how, when and why as well. While emphasizing planning models, the text delves into more hands-on engineering topics such as methods for setup time reduction, and fool proofing of production operations. The presentation follows the standard production system decision hierarchy. Modern philosophies such as time-based competition, lean manufacturing, and supply chain management are integrated into the discussion.

This text presents a modern view of production system design and analysis at a level appropriate for upper division undergraduates and beginning graduate students in industrial engineering or quantitative business schools.

Dalla quarta di copertina

GO BEYOND THE BASICS IN PRODUCTION SYSTEMS!

To be successful in designing and analyzing production systems, you need more than just the conceptual "what" that most textbooks cover. You also need the "why" and "how" that are so vital in putting abstract ideas to work successfully in the real world. While the authors of DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF LEAN PRODUCTION SYSTEMS emphasize planning models, they also cover more hands-on topics, like reducing set-up time and fool-proofing production operations.

This modern, rigorous text will help you:

• Understand difficult concepts in production systems. Askin and Goldberg show you how to solve problems by breaking them down into steps. You'll learn how to assess a problem, develop mathematical models, work through solution algorithms, and then offer an example of the solution.
• Work on realistic problems the way you would on the job. The case studies included throughout require working in teams on open-ended questions, and the answers come from integrating multiple ideas?these are the sorts of problems that production planners deal with every day.
• Learn the newest system approaches. In recent years, the production systems field has gone through fundamental changes. This book will introduce you to the modern approaches that concentrate on improving manufacturing environments and maximizing the use of information.
• Study Multi-Echelon inventory in the clearest way possible. Askin and Goldberg have collected results from practice and theory and organized them topically and chronologically, so you have clear and concise coverage of this advanced material.
