Providing a description of some of the phenomena in material flow in manufacturing systems, this text details some of the potentially disruptive events that affect the production process, the control action that managers can take in anticipation or response, and the consequences of disruptions and the managers's actions. It focuses on two major areas: the effects of unreliability, variability, and finite storage space on system performance; and control-theoretic methods for operating advanced manufacturing systems to obtain high performance.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Using it for part of my research,
By A Customer
This review is from: Manufacturing Systems Engineering (Hardcover)
Well, when I was presented with this topic initially, I had doubts whether I will pick up right away. It's not exactly new to me, but the concepts were. My advisor showed me this book. It was difficult to follow at first, but not at all after figuring out the ties and knots. The language presented is clear and simple. The chapters are presented in a progressive manner. In addition, so very often the author will make references to earlier chapters when needed. There will always be technical jargons in every book like this, but there are accompanied footnotes that help the reader along the way. This is definitely a good literature for management, operations research, industrial, manufacturing engineering majors, who has a huge interest in factory engineering. Finally, when I decide to own a copy, then I know it's actually out of print! But fear not, you will be able to find a copy. ;)

This review is from: Manufacturing Systems Engineering (Hardcover)
As I said, this is the good stochastic manufacturing book. Even though the book is intended for graduate student, it's not too hard for undergrad at all. You can do more details -after reading Factory Physics- by using this book. I would give it more than 5 stars if Amazon have!
