Re-Engineering The Manufacturing System: Applying The Theory Of Constraints

This timely, hands-on reference/text provides detailed instructions on how to build, implement, and use a manufacturing system based on the Theory of Constraints (TOC) -- facilitating the modification of a traditional system so that it better conforms to practical needs. Re-Engineering the Manufacturing System identifies and helps eliminate policy constraints that hamper a company's profit-making potential.

"Brilliantly conceived and executed, it is written for experts in the field of manufacturing by an expert." -Dr. Eli Goldratt, Founder of the Goldratt Institute "If every manufacturing system developer were allowed only one book for his or her desk, Re-Engineering the Manufacturing System: Applying the Theory of Constraints should be the book." Engineering Management Press "a very good introduction to the detail that lies behind Goldratt's TOC when it is applied to manufacturing." Journal of the Operational Research Society "Bob Stein thinks big.no one else has combined the practical knowledge of ERP systems with the practical knowledge of TOC to come up with this kind of authoritative, detailed manual."
