About this title

Synopsis

Modern production concepts can be considered as an essential field of economics nowadays. They help to give valuable insights and thus provide important competitive advantages. There is a broad variety of new approaches to Production Planning and Control (PPC), Just-in-Time (JIT), Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS), Flexible Automation (FA), Automated Guided Vehicle Systems (AGVS), Total Quality Control (TQC), and Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), all of which are indispensable cornerstones in this context. This book presents in a condensed and easy-to-comprehend form the different contributions of a group of internationally recommended scientists. The varied approaches to modern production concepts are not only based on theoretical foundations but also go one step further in that they present the implementation of these concepts and methods in detail. This close link with practical aspects will help to illuminate the theoretical material for researchers and students in universities. The book will be of major importance for practitioners involved in solving everyday industrial problems. The interdisciplinary nature of these contributions will help to create a new and valuable perspective on the field of production concepts.

Synopsis

This work is based on the proceedings of an international conference held at Hagen University in August, 1990. There is a case today for considering modern production concepts as a branch of economics and as such, the information they give can sharpen competitive advantage for manufacturers. In the light of this viewpoint, a variety of approaches to production planning and control (PPC), just-in-time (JIT), flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), flexible automation (FA), automated guided vehicle systems (AGVS), total quality control (TQC) and computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) are addressed in this book. The papers which make up the book combine theory and practical examples.
