This book covers the area of unpaced, unbalanced production lines.
You will find an up-to-date discussion of how designing these lines
can be made more efficient by taking advantage of inherent
imbalance, for example operators who work at different speeds - a
concept which has traditionally been seen as an obstacle to
efficient production. A series of experiments are presented to
illustrate the issues involved in improving performance through
production line imbalance. This area is of interest to postgraduate
and executive level students interested in the area of production,
and to managers of manual or semi-automated production lines who
are interested in innovative approaches to line design. In this
book you will find some surprisingly easy ways to improve
performance with low or zero costs. Emphasis is placed on reducing
the amount of time production lines lie idle, and on reducing work
in process. This is a timely contribution to the field when
managers are casting around for new ways to cut waste and reduce
their use of natural resources.
