Optimize Economic and Technological Requirements in Production System Designs
This pioneering work offers proven techniques, partially created and developed at The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, for determining optimal resource allocation and cost-effective production system designs for today’s any-volume manufacturing environments. Production Systems Engineering presents a unique methodology that synthesizes applicable technology with economic requirements for an integrated solution. Featuring real-world case studies, this authoritative resource establishes a new paradigm for the manufacturing world that can also be applied to other enterprise environments.
Coverage includes :
Determining an improved manufacturing system design method
System design basics, time allocation, resources, costs, and quality rating
Stochastic analyses added to deterministic results
System configuration options
Multiple disparate products produced by one system
World class versus mostly manual systems
Determining allowable investment
Simultaneous improvement in yield and cycle-time
List of Tables
List of Illustrations
