A step-by-step guide to
planning new factories and plant rearrangements, this
book describes proven analytical methods for:
calculating space requirements, activity-pair
relationships, materials handling analysis, and
generating alternative layouts.
This proven strategy
masterfully weaves together the very best elements of
layout methods for manufacturing cells, JIT, demand
flow, and constraint-based flow manufacturing
philosophies, in addition to traditional job shop and
assembly-line operations.
In "Manufacturing Plant
Layout," author Edward Phillips describes how to
methodically reduce or totally rid a design of profit
eroders during the planning/design of a cost-efficient
manufacturing layout. |
