Produktbeschreibung

Improve key metrics of manufacturing performance with this accessible guide Manufacturing throughput refers to the quantity of products that can be produced within a period and with available resources. Enhancing manufacturing throughput is crucial for a business's success. However, managing and improving throughput can be challenging due to the complexity of manufacturing systems and their operations, which involve numerous variables. To effectively manage and improve system throughput, it is essential to adopt a scientifically guided methodology and practices. Manufacturing System Throughput Excellence is a unique book that provides a concise and practical overview of manufacturing throughput management. It includes best practices for achieving improved throughput on the production floor and explores the connections between production management and system design. The book emphasizes practical, executable approaches, drawing on the author's 25+ years of industry and academic experience. It serves as an indispensable tool for businesses looking to boost manufacturing efficiency and drive improved outcomes. Manufacturing System Throughput Excellence readers will discover: * The latest and effective approaches for achieving manufacturing operational excellence * Key pillars of manufacturing excellence: production management, maintenance management, quality management, and system design * Specific principles and methods on bottleneck identification and buffer analysis * Insightful connections between academic research and industrial practice * Summaries and end-of-chapter exercises to reinforce learning Manufacturing System Throughput Excellence is a unique and comprehensive guide for manufacturing practitioners and researchers, as well as mechanical and industrial engineering students in advanced manufacturing courses.
