{"product_id":"design-and-analysis-of-lean-production-systems-isbn-9780471115939","title":"Design and Analysis of Lean Production Systems","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis text presents the basic system concepts while providing more detail and rigor than the conceptual descriptions found in many operation management texts.  Mathematical decision models and tools for improving systems are described.  In discussing production systems, the authors go beyond addressing the basic what questions, and provide guidance on how, when and why as well. While emphasizing planning models, the text delves into more hands-on engineering topics such as methods for setup time reduction, and fool proofing of production operations.  The presentation follows the standard production system decision hierarchy.  Modern philosophies such as time-based competition, lean manufacturing, and supply chain management are integrated into the discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis text presents a modern view of production system design and analysis at a level appropriate for upper division undergraduates and beginning graduate students in industrial engineering or quantitative business schools.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Industrial Enterprise\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction to the Production System and the Role of Inventory\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMarket Characterization\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eManufacturing Strategy and the Supply Chain\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAggregate Planning\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSingle Stage Inventory Control\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDecentralized Pull Systems\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMulti-Stage Production Systems: Materials Requirements Planning for Dependent Demand\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMulti-Stage Models\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLean Manufacturing and the Just-in-Time Philosophy\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop Scheduling\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop Floor Control: Systems and Extensions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRonald G.

You also need the \"why\" and \"how\" that are so vital in putting abstract ideas to work successfully in the real world. While the authors of \u003cb\u003eDESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF LEAN PRODUCTION SYSTEMS\u003c\/b\u003e emphasize planning models, they also cover more hands-on topics, like reducing set-up time and fool-proofing production operations.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis modern, rigorous text will help you: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUnderstand difficult concepts in production systems.\u003c\/b\u003e Askin and Goldberg show you how to solve problems by breaking them down into steps.
