Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Surveys have shown that few manufacturing systems are currently being implemented efficiently and cost-effectively. Yet, as a result of increased market competition and increased customer demand for greater product variety, manufacturing companies are finding that they need to continuously improve the manufacturing process to remain competitive. Innovative in approach, this book introduces for the first time a new methodology for developing a continuous- change process for manufacturing systems design. The Integrated Manufacturing Systems Design Procedure (IMP) provides tools and techniques for the design of the technical and social sub-system in manufacturing holistically. The approach is based on fundamental principles of open systems design--which, together with well proven tools and methods, augments the integration of system components to achieve optimum system performance. Explores the context for manufacturing systems design; reviews the various social and technical planning tools available for the manufacturing systems design process; and presents an innovative approach to manufacturing systems design (IMP). Discusses the theory of manufacturing systems design, outlines a design roadmap that guides systems designers through the various stages and interactions of system design; and explores a number of case studies that partially implement the IMP approach.
