While emphasising planning models, the text delves into more hands-on engineering topics such as methods for setup time reduction, and foolproofing 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\n\n\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\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460677058796,"sku":"9780471115939","price":252.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780471115939-design-and-analysis-of-lean-production-systems.jpg?v=1774950618"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/ronald-g-askin.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
