In 2000, Schragenheim and Dettmer published the ground-breaking
Manufacturing at Warp Speed. At the time, the cutting-edge ideas
expressed were the original work of the authors and not well-known
beyond the book's audience. In the years that followed, Dr. Eliyahu
Goldratt, father of the Theory of Constraints (TOC), adopted their
ideas, added his own valuable insights, and popularized them
worldwide. Supply Chain Management at Warp Speed serves as the
sequel that refines and updates the former approach to production
management with new ideas that complement earlier tactics. The
authors' prime motivation for writing this book was to integrate
the TOC method for managing the distribution of finished goods with
the acquisition of raw materials and the manufacturing process. The
result is the first book to describe, in detail, the application of
the TOC approach to assured availability in distribution, for both
original equipment manufacturers and retailers. "State-Of-The-Art"
in Applying Theory of Constraints This cutting-edge reference
broadens the scope of its predecessor by integrating manufacturing,
distribution, and raw material management into a single end-to-end
supply chain. It addresses the new demands taken on when a firm
offers to handle rush orders. It also reviews the issues
surrounding availability and the management of inventory moving
through distribution systems. Fully illustrated, with numerous
examples, case studies, and manufacturing scenarios, Supply Chain
Management at Warp Speed provides TOC practitioners with the tools
needed to address the performance issues of the entire supply chain
and develop solutions that represent a win for the end-user as well
as stakeholders along the entire supply chain.
Manufacturing systems don't exist in a vacuum, isolated from the rest of the company, but they are often managed that way. A truly effective, highly competitive manufacturing company integrates its manufacturing, marketing, sales, purchasing, and financial functions into a well-coordinated whole. Manufacturing at Warp Speed: Optimizing Supply Chain Financial Performance explains in detail how to coordinate all these functions to maximize sales revenue while controlling inventory and overhead costs. Ultimately, the effects of applying the new Simplified-Drum-Buffer-Rope (DBR II) introduced by the authors include dramatically faster manufacturing cycle times, shorter order-to-delivery lead times, higher on-time delivery reliability, and better customer satisfaction.
The book gives you everything a typical production professional needs to implement this new DBR approach. A supplemental feature - the Management Interactive Case Study Simulator (MICSS) - is included with the book. This CD-ROM sets up a virtual company where you can test and practice the processes you learn in the book before implementing them in your organization. The book and software together constitute the complete package for learning how to streamline manufacturing operations.
The first book available on second generation Drum-Buffer-Rope, Manufacturing at Warp Speed: Optimizing Supply Chain Financial Performance describes the simplest, most efficient methods for reducing manufacturing cycle time and increasing the speed of manufacturing yet devised. Fully illustrated, with numerous examples, case studies, and manufacturing scenarios, the book is so easy to read that even the novice can understand it. Correct use of this new method practically assures your company has the competitive advantage.
