Synopsis

With the increased use of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and automation software, the popularity of finite capacity scheduling (FCS) has increased greatly and the technique is now seen as a key complement to Master Resource Planning (MRP), today's predominant planning tool. The major benefit of using FCS is the ability it confers to perform effective short-term planning, complementing popular inventory approaches like Just-in-Time (JIT). Written by two experts in the areas of ERP and FCS, this book offers clear guidelines for manufacturing, logistics and operations managers looking to implement FCS and manage their business accordingly.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

"Even the best companies tend to be reactive because of poor scheduling. Often their employees prefer being reactive because they are so used to operating in this mode. The shoot–from–the–hip approach is very common in American culture. The West was won with a ‘six–shooter’and many shop floor managers continue to function in the shoot–from–the–hip mode. While there are some conditions that might benefit from the shoot–from–the–hip philosophy, modern competitive manufacturing is not one of them." from Finite Capacity Scheduling In this groundbreaking book, internationally recognized experts explain why obsolete scheduling methodologies may be preventing your company from achieving competitive levels of productivity, and how today’s powerful new finite capacity scheduling (FCS) technologies can transform it into a world–class competitor. The first comprehensive guide to understanding, choosing, implementing, and managing FCS technologies, Finite Capacity Scheduling:

• Exposes the problems inherent to infinite capacity scheduling models
• Explains why FCS is the key to modern competitive manufacturing
• Shows how FCS maximizes resource use and cuts inventory costs
• Proves that FCS is a natural complement to MRP, ERP, TQM, and JIT
• Reviews current and emerging FCS technologies
• Offers guidelines for choosing the best FCS system for your company
• Describes how to integrate FCS seamlessly into your management structure
