Opis

Manufacturing systems don't exist in a vacuum, isolated from the rest of the company, but they are often managed that way. A truly effective, highly competitive manufacturing company integrates its manufacturin g, marketing, sales, purchasing, and financial functions into a well-c oordinated whole. Manufacturing at Warp Speed: Optimizing Supply Chain Financial Performance explains in detail how to coordinate all these functions to maximize sales revenue while controlling inventory and ov erhead costs. Ultimately, the effects of applying the new Simplified-D rum-Buffer-Rope (DBR II) introduced by the authors include dramaticall y faster manufacturing cycle times, shorter order-to-delivery lead tim es, higher on-time delivery reliability, and better customer satisfact ion.
