This book covers the area of unpaced and 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 that 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 semiautomated 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.
