Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Production performance is created by a system, not by one machine, schedule, software package, or improvement tool.Demand, capacity, variability, material flow, information, people, equipment, quality, risk, and economics continually interact across a manufacturing operation. Improving one part of that operation without understanding the rest can simply move the constraint somewhere else.This handbook develops a connected approach to understanding and improving those relationships.Beginning with system boundaries and performance measures, the book examines product-process design, forecasting, capacity, facility location, layout, material handling, work design, ergonomics, and engineering economics. It then connects higher-level decisions to shop-floor execution through aggregate decisions, master schedules, inventory policy, material requirements, lead times, capacity checks, loading, sequencing, bottleneck management, release rules, queues, and disruption recovery.Key areas include: capacity, utilization, bottlenecks, and resource balancing;inventory policy, material requirements, and lead-time control;throughput, work in process, takt, pull systems, and setup reduction;statistical control, process capability, and structured causal analysis;equipment reliability, maintainability, availability, and maintenance strategy;spare-parts decisions, shutdowns, and lifecycle asset management;sensors, industrial controls, robotics, and automation;manufacturing information, traceability, and system integration;simulation, optimization, and digital representations;suppliers, logistics, and supply-chain resilience;operational risk, change control, and emergency preparedness;energy efficiency, material efficiency, waste, and circularity;cybersecurity, data governance, and human oversight;business cases, pilot programs, workforce readiness, and benefits verification.The book repeatedly challenges local optimization. Instead of asking only whether one machine can run faster, it asks what constraint actually governs output, how variability affects flow, what additional inventory is being created, which stakeholders experience the consequences, and what evidence will show whether an intervention produced a sustained improvement.The quality and reliability chapters connect measurement adequacy, statistical methods, failure behavior, maintenance, spares, shutdowns, and asset decisions. Later chapters examine automation, industrial data, simulation, optimization, robotics, and digital technologies as engineered capabilities that require credible information, stable processes, verification, validation, cybersecurity, governance, and competent human oversight.Worked examples, practice problems, design cases, decision tables, appendices, and audit checklists support both structured study and problem-directed reference.Designed for engineers, technical professionals, operations leaders, advanced students, and practitioners responsible for factory performance, this handbook provides a single framework for understanding how decisions involving capacity, flow, inventory, quality, equipment, technology, supply networks, and economics influence one another.Use it to define the real constraint, test assumptions, compare alternatives, plan controlled changes, and verify whether results endure after implementation.Add this handbook to your technical library and develop a more disciplined approach to improving factory performance, from diagnosing a single bottleneck to building an evidence-based transformation roadmap for an entire operatio Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
