Finite Capacity Scheduling: Management, Selection, and Implementation (Oliver Wight Manufacturing Series)
Description:
"Even the best companies tend to be reactive because of poor scheduling. Often their employees prefer being reactive because they are so used to operating in this mode. The shoot-from-the-hip approach is very common in American culture. The West was won with a ‘six-shooter’and many shop floor managers continue to function in the shoot-from-the-hip mode. While there are some conditions that might benefit from the shoot-from-the-hip philosophy, modern competitive manufacturing is not one of them." —from Finite Capacity Scheduling In this groundbreaking book, internationally recognized experts explain why obsolete scheduling methodologies may be preventing your company from achieving competitive levels of productivity, and how today’s powerful new finite capacity scheduling (FCS) technologies can transform it into a world-class competitor.
