Opis

The book presents the detailed approach to a Manufacturing Cost Policy Deployment (MCPD) system transformation in production companies. The establishment of a MCPD System is presented to fully detail the practical implications of the main activities required in the initial phase of implementing the MCPD system. These required activities are presented in detail in three major phases and seven basic steps. The activities necessary for a constant and consistent application of MCPD are then shown, especially the MCPD impact on remodeling and continuously improving the production systems. Two applications of MCPD in two manufacturing companies in different industries (manufacturing and process) are fully illustrated . For each of the two applications, real case studies are presented -- thse case studies aim at fulfilling the manufacturing cost improvement targets at product-family cost level using systematic and systemic productivity improvement projects. In this context, the readers will discover the practical approach to the manufacturing cost improvement based on a structured approach of MCPD.
