Manufacturing operations are the real wealth creators within a
business, accounting for the majority of management and financial
assets needed to sustain the company. Make it encapsulates the
author's many years of experience gained designing manufacturing
systems and supply-chains in factories across the world. It
provides a proven, logical sequence of events needed to design
effective modular factories capable of competing with the world's
best.
In their 1999 'Best-Managed' Companies Awards, 'Aviation Week
and Space Technology' (Vol. 150, No. 22) quoted the author's former
company, Lucas Aerospace, as achieving 'Most improved major
aerospace company 1994 - 1998' status, ranking it second in
Competitiveness, assessed by an amalgamation of asset utilisation,
productivity and financial stability.
This book has been written for managers charged with the
responsibility for improving business profitability and for
engineers facing the challenge of introducing more cost effective
manufacturing processes. Many manufacturing businesses have failed
to invest adequate resources in designing factory operations,
mainly due to the lack of expertise and detailed knowledge needed
to undertake this demanding task.
