Description
Contents
The product wheel (PW) design process has practical methods for finding the optimum sequence, therefore minimizing changeover costs and freeing up useful capacity. This book describes this proven technique for dealing with all of the issues related to multiple product situations. It walks the reader through a logical, detailed, step by step, process for designing and implementing the PW technique. Breaking down a fairly complex design process down into discrete, practical, manageable steps, it includes a case study from actual practice that illustrates the design process and the benefits.
