Trends in Supply Chain Design and Management: Technologies and Methodologies

Hosang Jung, Fengshan Frank Chen, Bongju Jeong
Springer Science & Business Media, 17-Jul-2007 - Business & Economics - 451 pages

With the rapid development of information and network technologies and market requirements, new challenges in supply chain design and management have emerged. Notably, there are four new technologies which can affect traditional supply chain management: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology; mobile transaction technology; information handling and storage technology; and multi-agent technology. These new technologies enable global companies to change their ways of thinking about supply chain management in order to cope with the changing environment. In line with this rapid development of technologies are new challenging methodologies: sustainable supply chain management, advanced supply chain planning, available-to-promise (ATP) system and lean supply chain design and management.

Trends in Supply Chain Design and Management: Technologies and Methodologies is a collection of chapters from active researchers and practitioners which describe new trends in supply chain design and management with emphasis on technologies and methodologies. Each chapter contains guidelines detailing the real-world application(s) of the presented technologies and methodologies.

By reading Trends in Supply Chain Design and Management: Technologies and Methodologies, researchers will gain an insight into the evolving trends in supply chain design and management and practitioners will learn about the practical applications of the technologies and methodologies discussed. This book could also be used as a reference handbook by lecturers and postgraduate students in advanced supply chain design and management.

Product Management for Digital Products

 Product managers for the digital world

May 24, 2017 | Article

By 

Chandra Gnanasambandam, Martin Harrysson, Shivam Srivastava, and Yun Wu


ole of the product manager is expanding due to the growing importance of data in decision making, an increased customer and design focus, and the evolution of software-development methodologies.


Product managers coordinate many functions that touch a product—engineering, design, customer success, sales, marketing, operations, finance, legal, and more. They not only own the decisions about what gets built but also influence every aspect of how it gets built and launched.

The product manager of today is increasingly the mini-CEO of the product. They wear many hats, using a broad knowledge base to make trade-off decisions, and bring together cross-functional teams, ensuring alignment between diverse functions. Product management is emerging as the new training ground for future tech CEOs.

Today, there is a strong case for a well-rounded product manager who is more externally oriented and spends less time overseeing day-to-day engineering execution, while still commanding the respect of engineering.


Data dominates everything

Companies today have treasure troves of internal and external data and use these to make every product decision. It is natural for product managers—who are closest to the data—to take on a broader role. Product success can also be clearly measured across a broader set of metrics (engagement, retention, conversion, and so on) at a more granular level, and product managers can be given widespread influence to affect those metrics.


Products are built differently

Product managers now function on two speeds: they plan the daily or weekly feature releases, as well as the product road map for the next six to 24 months. Product managers spend much less time writing long requirements up front; instead, they must work closely with different teams to gather feedback and iterate frequently.


Products and their ecosystems are becoming more complex

Managers must now oversee multiple bundles, pricing tiers, dynamic pricing, up-sell paths, and pricing strategy. Life cycles are also becoming more complex, with expectations of new features, frequent improvements, and upgrades after purchase. At the same time, the value of the surrounding ecosystem is growing: modern products are increasingly just one element in an ecosystem of related services and businesses. This has led to a shift in responsibilities from business development and marketing to product managers. New responsibilities for product managers include overseeing the application programming interface (API) as a product, identifying and owning key partnerships, managing the developer ecosystem, and more.


Three archetypes of the mini-CEO product manager

There are three common profiles of the mini-CEO archetype: technologists, generalists, and business-oriented. But, each of them has to work across multiple areas (for instance, a technologist product manager will be expected to be on top of key business metrics). Most technology companies today have a mix of technologists and generalists in their product manager roles.

As these three archetypes emerge, the project manager is a fading archetype and seen mainly at legacy product companies. The day-to-day engineering execution role is now typically owned by an engineering manager, program manager, or scrum master. This enables greater leverage, with one product manager to eight to 12 engineers, versus the ratio of one product manager to four or five engineers that has been common in the past.


Common themes across the three archetypes

An intense focus on the customer is prominent among all product managers. 


There are, however, differences in how product managers connect with the users. While a technologist may spend time at industry conferences talking to other developers or reading Hacker News, the generalist will typically spend that time interviewing customers, talking to the sales team, or reviewing usage metrics.


The product manager of the future

Over the next three to five years, we see the product-management role continuing to evolve toward a deeper focus on data (without losing empathy for users) and a greater influence on nonproduct decisions.

Product managers of the future will be analytics gurus and less reliant on analysts for basic questions. They will be able to quickly spin up a Hadoop cluster on Amazon Web Services, pull usage data, analyze them, and draw insights. They will be adept at applying machine-learning concepts and tools that are specifically designed to augment the product manager’s decision making.

We anticipate that most modern product managers will spend at least 30 percent of their time on external activities like engaging with customers and the partner ecosystem. Such engagement will not be limited to consumer products—as the consumerization of IT continues, B2B product managers will directly connect with end users rather than extracting feedback through multiple layers of sales and intermediaries.

Similarly, the background of future product managers will evolve to match this new role. A foundation in computer science will remain essential and will be supplemented by experience and coursework in design. Product managers will know how to create mock-ups and leverage frameworks and APIs to quickly prototype a product or feature. Product managers will typically start their careers either as engineers or as part of a rotational program. After three to four years, they may get an executive or a full-time MBA with a specialization in product management, which is becoming an area of focus at several top-tier MBA programs, and which we expect will become more prevalent.

A key aspect of a future product manager’s profile will be frequent transitions between products. 


Getting started: Redefining your product-management function

We recommend that organizations begin with a thorough assessment of their current product-management capabilities in six areas: a grounding in customer experience, market orientation, business acumen, technical skills, soft skills, and the presence of organizational enablers. Companies typically focus on being best in class in one to three areas and meeting the bar across the board.

Digital Product Management, Technology and Practice: Interdisciplinary Perspectives: Interdisciplinary Perspectives


Strader, Troy J.

IGI Global, Sep 30, 2010 - Technology & Engineering - 316 pages

Products that can be stored, produced, and disseminated in a digital form can be referred to as digital products.ΓΏ Digital products involve some combination of text, images, audio, video, and computer programs. They have unique advantages such as very low marginal costs for production, storage, and distribution, but also involve the disadvantage of increased opportunities for product piracy.


Digital Product Management, Technology, and Practice: Interdisciplinary Perspectives covers a wide range of digital product management issues and offers some insight into real-world practice and research findings. Experts in several disciplines from around the world offer their views on the technical, operational, and strategic challenges that face digital product managers and researchers now and in the next several decades.

Optimizing PCB Layout for HV GaN Power Transistors


Abstract:

Printed circuit board (PCB) layout has been an integral aspect of power electronic design since the first switching power supplies appeared more than 40 years ago. Regardless of the transistor technology, the parasitic impedances added to the circuit by the PCB layout must be understood and managed for the circuit to function correctly, reliably, and without causing undue electromagnetic interference (EMI).

A DATA SCIENTIST EXPLAINS: WHEN DOES MACHINE LEARNING WORK WELL IN FINANCIAL MARKETS?

January 17, 2023
by
Peter Simon

As a data scientist, one of the best things about working with DataRobot customers is the sheer variety of highly interesting questions that come up. Recently, a prospective customer asked me how I reconcile the fact that DataRobot has multiple very successful investment banks using DataRobot to enhance the P&L of their trading businesses with my comments that machine learning models aren’t always great at predicting financial asset prices. Peek into our conversation to learn when machine learning does—and doesn’t—work well in financial markets use cases.

Chemical Engineering and Chemical Process Technology is a theme component of Encyclopedia of Chemical Sciences, Engineering and Technology Resources in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty Encyclopedias. 


Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering, dealing with processes in which materials undergo changes in their physical or chemical state. These changes may concern size, energy content, composition and/or other application properties. Chemical engineering deals with many processes belonging to chemical industry or related industries (petrochemical, metallurgical, food, pharmaceutical, fine chemicals, coatings and colors, renewable raw materials, biotechnological, etc.), and finds application in manufacturing of such products as acids, alkalis, salts, fuels, fertilizers, crop protection agents, ceramics, glass, paper, colors, dyestuffs, plastics, cosmetics, vitamins and many others. It also plays significant role in environmental protection, biotechnology, nanotechnology, energy production and sustainable economical development.


The Theme on Chemical Engineering and Chemical Process Technology deals, in five volumes and covers several topics such as:  Fundamentals of Chemical Engineering; Unit Operations – Fluids; Unit Operations – Solids; Chemical Reaction Engineering;  Process Development, Modeling, Optimization and Control; Process Management; The Future of Chemical Engineering; Chemical Engineering Education; Main Products, which are then expanded into multiple subtopics, each as a chapter.


These five volumes are aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers and NGOs.

Notes on Process Technology Strategy - Chapter 6 in Nigel Slack and Michael Lewis

http://nraomtr.blogspot.com/2021/01/technology-processes-and-people.html



Evaluating process technology

It involves exploring, understanding and describing the strategic consequences of adopting alternatives. 


it is useful to consider three generic classes of evaluation criteria:


● the feasibility of the process technology; that is the degree of difficulty in adopting it, and the investment of time, effort and money that will be needed;


● the acceptability of the process technology; that is how much it takes a firm towards its strategic objectives, or the return the firm gets for choosing it;


● the vulnerability associated with the process technology; that is the extent to which the firm is exposed if things go wrong, the risk that is run by choosing the technology


Evaluating feasibility


If the resources required to implement technology are greater than those that are either available or can be obtained, the technology is not feasible. So evaluating the feasibility of an option means finding out how the various types of resource that the option might need match up to what is available. Four broad questions are applicable.


What technical or human skills are required to implement the technology?


What ‘quantity’ or ‘amount’ of resources is required to implement the technology?


What are the funding or cash requirements?


Can the operation cope with the degree of change in resource requirements?


Evaluating acceptability


Acceptability in financial terms


Financial evaluation involves predicting and analysing the financial costs to which an option would commit the organisation, and the financial benefits that might accrue from acquiring the process technology over the life-cycle. Project appraisal is done over the life of the project.


Limitations of conventional financial evaluation


Conventional financial evaluation has come under criticism for its inability to include enough relevant factors to give a true picture of complex investments.


Acceptability in terms of impact on market requirements.


Market requirements are the performance dimensions


Any evaluation must reflect the impact of process technology on each performance objective relative to their importance to achieving a particular market position. Often there will be trade-offs involved in adopting a new process technology.


-------------


Quality 


Does the process technology improve the specification of the product or service? 


Speed 


Does the process technology enable a faster response to customers? 


Does the process technology speed the throughput of internal processes? 


Dependability 


Does the process technology enable products and/or services to be delivered dependably? 


Flexibility 


Does the process technology allow the operation to change in response to changes in customer demand? 


Cost 


Does the process technology process materials, information or customers more efficiently and give higher productivity? 


Acceptability in terms of impact on operational resources


At the same time, however, it is important to build up a picture of the contribution that process technology can make to the longer-term capability ‘endowment’ of the operation. These four dimensions of assessment are:


● the scarcity of resources;


● how difficult the resources are to move;


● how difficult the resources are to copy;


● how difficult the resources are to substitute for.


These four dimensions provide us with a ‘first cut’ mechanism for assessing the impact that a specific technological resource will have upon sustainable competitive advantage. 


Tangible and intangible resources


Tangible resources are the actual physical assets that the company possesses. In process technology terms these will be the machines, computers, materials handling equipment, and so on, used within the operation. Intangible resources are not necessarily directly observable but nevertheless have value for the company. Things such as relationship and brand strength, supplier relationships, process knowledge, and so on are all real but not always directly tangible. This concept of intangible resources is important when considering process technology. 


A unit of technology may not be any different physically from the technology used by competitors. However, its use may add to the company’s reputation, skills, knowledge and experience. 


Thus, depending on how the process technology is used, the value of the intangible aspect of a process technology may be greater than its physical worth. If the usefulness of process technology also depends on the software it employs, then this also must be evaluated. Again, although software may be bought off the shelf and is therefore available to competitors, if it is deployed in imaginative and creative ways its real value can be enhanced.


Vulnerability because of changed resource dependencies


Specific skills are needed if the technology is to be installed, maintained, upgraded and controlled effectively. In other words, the technology has a set of ‘resource dependencies’. Changing to a different process technology often means changing this set of resource dependencies. This may have a positive aspect when the firm succeeds in implementation. The skills, knowledge and experience necessary to implement and operate the technology can be scarce and difficult to copy and hence provide a platform for sustainable advantage.

Production Management

IntroBooks
Can Akdeniz, 15-Jan-2019 - 40 pages
The Production Management is the process of producing products through manufacture of raw materials into finished goods. The concept of production management was invented at the time of industrialisation.
Production Management is a broad field and its usage is recognised in multiple areas which are concerned with providing services to the consumers. A Production Manager is required in fields like in Theatres as Stage Manager, Human Resources, Management, Accounting and Financial Management etc.
A Production Manager’s job working in an industry is to regulate the design of the product according to the wants of the customers. It also keeps a check on provision of raw materials, work force, money, materials and methods which are important for the manufacture of the desired product.
Proper Product Planning and Control is employed to avoid faults in the manufacturing process of the product to prevent the company from passing through the loss phase be it in the case of resources or the reputation that the company has developed over the years of work.
The Production Management department of the organisation is said to be the most important part of the organisation. Many other areas of work are affected if Production Management is not carried out properly and therefore is also referred to as the nervous system of an organisation.

Production and Operations Management Systems
Sushil Gupta, Martin Starr


CRC Press, 07-Feb-2014 - Business & Economics - 520 pages
Since the beginning of mankind on Earth, if the "busyness" process was successful, then some form of benefit sustained it. The fundamentals are obvious: get the right inputs (materials, labor, money, and ideas); transform them into highly demanded, quality outputs; and make it available in time to the end consumer. Illustrating how operations relate to the rest of the organization, Production and Operations Management Systems provides an understanding of the production and operations management (P/OM) functions as well as the processes of goods and service producers.

The modular character of the text permits many different journeys through the materials. If you like to start with supply chain management (Chapter 9) and then move on to inventory management (Chapter 5) and then quality management (Chapter 8), you can do so in that order. However, if your focus is product line stability and quick response time to competition, you may prefer to begin with project management (Chapter 7) to reflect the continuous project mode required for fast redesign rapid response. Slides, lectures, Excel worksheets, and solutions to short and extended problem sets are available on the Downloads / Updates tabs.

The project management component of P/OM is no longer an auxiliary aspect of the field. The entire system has to be viewed and understood. The book helps students develop a sense of managerial competence in making decisions in the design, planning, operation, and control of manufacturing, production, and operations systems through examples and case studies. The text uses analytical techniques when necessary to develop critical thinking and to sharpen decision-making skills. It makes production and operations management (P/OM) interesting, even exciting, to those who are embarking on a career that involves business of any kind.

Strategic Management of Global Manufacturing Networks: Aligning Strategy, Configuration, and Coordination

Thomas Friedli, Andreas Mundt, Stefan Thomas
Springer, 08-Jul-2014 - Business & Economics - 271 pages
The preceding process of globalization and the continuously rising competitive pressure on manufacturing companies in more developed economies unveiled the limits of classical site-focused optimization approaches. The focus of network optimization shifts ever more towards an integrative view of manufacturing networks, striving for a harmonization of the strategy-, configuration- and coordination levels. This book presents such an integrative approach to the strategic management of manufacturing networks. Besides strategic network requirements, this book discusses the derivation of an optimal global footprint and the optimization of network coordination activities. Special attention is paid to the site roles concept, especially to the concept of 'lead factory'. A large number of up-to-date cases from the producing industry enrich the book and provide the reader with vivid examples for the application of the presented concepts. Hence, this book is a must-read for both practitioners and academic researchers.

Design and Development of Knowledge Management for Manufacturing: Framework, Solution and Strategy

K. Ganesh, Sanjay Mohapatra, S. Nagarajan
Springer Science & Business Media, 19-Nov-2013 - Business & Economics - 194 pages
This book examines the modules/elements required before implementing knowledge management solutions in typical manufacturing and service industry. The objective is to develop a framework, design and model suitable for all requirements and a strategy to properly implement. Related case studies from organizations are included, with the results provided to use as a solution to problems experienced when implementing knowledge management in the industry.

Implementing a knowledge management system can be complex and dynamic, no matter how well planned and developed. Inevitably a degree of organizational inertia is focused on the current state rather than the new. Within an enterprise, personal and group involvement and interests process status and technology landscape can deflect the commitment needed to successfully implement such a system. Cumulative evidence from past research in knowledge management suggests that effective implementation of KM solution in any organization requires a robust designs and models for various critical elements of process, people and technology. Using the techniques provided in this book, readers should be able to design knowledge management strategies, to align objectives of the KM initiatives with their business goals.

Group Technology: Applications to Production Management

Inyong Ham, Katsundo Hitomi, Teruhiko Yoshida
Springer Science & Business Media, 06-Dec-2012 - Business & Economics - 208 pages
Mass productio!l and mass consumption, so far considered virtues in a free economic soceity, have changed. Various problems have occurred including economic stagnation, energy crisis, shortage of material resources, prolifera tion of pollution, lack of skilled labor, rapid changes of product design, technical innovation, and others. Moreover, individual manufacturing firms must take steps to adopt multi-product, small-lot-sized (batch type) produc tion as a type of production in order to adapt themselves to a market movement characterized by a diversified and specialty-oriented society and a short product life cycle. The number of manufacturing firms worldwide that use a type of multi-product, small-lot-sized production is expected to increase. This is so even in the United States, which has been said to be a country of mass production. Multi-product, small-lot-sized production has been considered to be a milestone to flow-type mass production, which has been thought to be the most effective production system. Intensive efforts have been made to investigate mass production systems from both theoretical and practical viewpoints. Few studies have been made for multi-product, small-lot-sized production (batch-type manufacturing). Considering the present business circumstances faced with various difficulties, it is strongly required to establish some theories useful for making practically effective and flexible multi-product, small-lot-sized production systems. Several effective approaches to the batch-type manufacturing systems have been developed. Group technology (GT) is one such method that has steadily obtained great interest from progressive manufacturing firms all over the world.

Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Networked Manufacturing Enterprises Management

Lyes Benyoucef, Bernard Grabot
Springer Science & Business Media, 10-May-2010 - Computers - 508 pages
Enterprise networks offer a wide range of new business opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises that are usually more flexible than larger companies. In order to be successful, however, performances and expected benefits have to be carefully evaluated and balanced: enterprises must ensure they become a member of the right network for the right task and must find an efficient, flexible, and sustainable working practice. A promising approach to finding such a practice is to combine analytical methods and knowledge-based approaches, in a distributed context.

Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have been used to refine decision-making in networked enterprise processes, integrating people, information and products across the network boundaries. Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Networked Manufacturing Enterprises Management addresses prominent concepts and applications of AI technologies in the management of networked manufacturing enterprises.

The aim of this book is to align latest practices, innovation and case studies with academic frameworks and theories, where AI techniques are used efficiently for networked manufacturing enterprises. More specifically, it includes the latest research results and projects at different levels addressing quick-response system, theoretical performance analysis, performance and capability demonstration. The role of emerging AI technologies in the modelling, evaluation and optimisation of networked enterprises’ activities at different decision levels is also covered.

Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Networked Manufacturing Enterprises Management is a valuable guide for postgraduates and researchers in industrial engineering, computer science, automation and operations research.

The Springer Series in Advanced Manufacturing publishes the best teaching and reference material to support students, educators and practitioners in manufacturing technology and management. This international series includes advanced textbooks, research monographs, edited works and conference proceedings covering all subjects in advanced manufacturing.

Production Engineering and Management under Fuzziness

Cengiz Kahraman, Mesut Yavuz
Springer Science & Business Media, 19-May-2010 - Business & Economics - 605 pages
Production engineering and management involve a series of planning and control activities in a production system. A production system can be as small as a shop with only one machine or as big as a global operation including many manufacturing plants, distribution centers, and retail locations in multiple continents. The product of a production system can also vary in complexity based on the material used, technology employed, etc. Every product, whether a pencil or an airplane, is produced in a system which depends on good management to be successful. Production management has been at the center of industrial engineering and management science disciplines since the industrial revolution. The tools and techniques of production management have been so successful that they have been adopted to various service industries, as well. The book is intended to be a valuable resource to undergraduate and graduate students interested in the applications of production management under fuzziness. The chapters represent all areas of production management and are organized to reflect the natural order of production management tasks. In all chapters, special attention is given to applicability and wherever possible, numerical examples are presented. While the reader is expected to have a fairly good understanding of the fuzzy logic, the book provides the necessary notation and preliminary knowledge needed in each chapter.

Advances in Production Management Systems: New Challenges, New Approaches: International IFIP WG 5.7 Conference, APMS 2009, Bordeaux, France, September 21-23, 2009, Revised Selected Papers

Bruno Vallespir, Thècle Alix
Springer, 19-Oct-2010 - Computers - 671 pages
The present economic and social environment has given rise to new situations within which companies must operate. As a first example, the globalization of the economy and the need for performance has led companies to outsource and then to operate inside networks of enterprises such as supply chains or virtual enterprises. A second instance is related to environmental issues. The statement about the impact of ind- trial activities on the environment has led companies to revise processes, to save - ergy, to optimize transportation.... A last example relates to knowledge. Knowledge is considered today to be one of the main assets of a company. How to capitalize, to manage, to reuse it for the benefit of the company is an important current issue. The three examples above have no direct links. However, each of them constitutes a challenge that companies have to face today. This book brings together the opinions of several leading researchers from all around the world. Together they try to develop new approaches and find answers to those challenges. Through the individual ch- ters of this book, the authors present their understanding of the different challenges, the concepts on which they are working, the approaches they are developing and the tools they propose. The book is composed of six parts; each one focuses on a specific theme and is subdivided into subtopics.

Advances in Production Management Systems: International IFIP TC 5, WG 5.7 Conference on Advances in Production Management Systems (APMS 2007), September 17-19, LinkΓΆping, Sweden

Jan Olhager, Fredrik Persson
Springer, 24-Dec-2007 - Computers - 422 pages
The competitive environment is becoming increasingly more complex and intense. In order to cope, business decisions related to various areas tend to become more interrelated. Firms need to couple their operations strategies to the marketing strategies to best support the competition of their products in the marketplace. The perspectives on production management systems are getting more strategic. A more integrated approach is thus called for, bringing together the various perspectives on production management systems and operations strategy. This relationship is important in any type of operation, perhaps more so in supply chains, production networks and global operations. This book brings together the latest thinking by leading experts, analysts, academics, researchers, and industrial practitioners from around the world who have worked extensively in the area of production management systems and strategies. In the individual chapters of this book, authors put forward their perspectives, approaches, and tools for use in developing and integrating systems and strategies in production management.

Effective Resource Management in Manufacturing Systems: Optimization Algorithms for Production Planning

Massimiliano Caramia, Paolo Dell'Olmo
Springer Science & Business Media, 16-Jun-2006 - Technology & Engineering - 216 pages
Manufacturing systems, regardless of their size, have to work with scarce resources in dynamic environments. Managers are asked to assign production facilities over time to parallel activities respecting operational constraints and deadlines while keeping resource costs as low as possible. Thus, classic scheduling approaches are not adequate when (i) a task simultaneously requires a set of different resources and (ii) a trade-off between different objectives (like time, cost and workload balance) should be reached. In such a case, more sophisticated models and algorithms should be brought to the attention of managers and executives of manufacturing companies.

Effective Resource Management in Manufacturing Systems aims to provide robust methods for achieving effective resource allocation and to solve related problems that occur daily and often generate cost overruns, specifically focusing on problems like resource levelling, sizing of machines and production layouts, cost optimization in production planning and scheduling. This approach is based on providing quantitative methods, covering both mathematical programming and algorithms, leading to high quality solutions for the analysed problems. Details of extensive experimentation is provided for the proposed techniques to put them in a practical perspective, so that, on the one hand, the reader can reproduce them, and, on the other hand, it appears clear how they can be implemented in real scenarios.

This book will be a valuable resource for postgraduate students studying business, engineering or computer science. It will also be of interest to researchers in the fore-mentioned areas.

Advances in Production Management Systems

E. Eloranta
Elsevier, 1990 - Business & Economics - 602 pages
This book is divided into four sections: invited papers, principles, systems and techniques. The invited papers form an extensive overview of the state-of-the-art of production management. The themes range from the everlasting hunt for better productivity to the implications of CIM architectures (particularly CIM-OSA) for production management. The other three sections of the book look at the various problems affecting production management. One of the characteristics of modern production management is the need for better principles, systems and techniques for interorganizational production management. Another topic of crucial relevance is the necessity to master not only repetitive manufacturing but also one-of-a-kind product manufacturing. From the managerial point of view, the forecast-based make-to-stock principles have proven insufficient, with market forces demanding fast and reliable deliveries of customer-oriented products. The goals of production management have been re-evaluated as a result.

Manufacturing Automation Management: A Productivity Handbook

Roger W. Bolz
Springer Science & Business Media, 06-Dec-2012 - Science - 252 pages
Automation has been employed for many years to provide a multitude of reasonably priced products for the American consumer. However, it has become evident that its real character as a manufacturing systems approach needs to be examined carefully for a better appreciation. In this book the purpose is to examine automation technology in its broadest sense and develop not only an understanding but also present some of the engineering and organization "know-how" by which manufacturing management can more effectively utilize automation to improve pro ductivity and combat rising costs in the years ahead. Fundamentally, this book is addressed to manufacturing managers, and the material presented in a manner that will provide the knowledge for assuring success in automating. In addition, it highlights the man ufacturing research and long-range planning that will be required for creating the new manufacturing technology so necessary for assuring success in future automation efforts. One of the important facts emphasized in this text is that automation is not merely robotics ar another kind or type of machinery. To effect true productivity improvement requires a fresh look at the entire pro duction process or facility-as a completely integrated system. With the developments of the past few years, rapid advances in the technology and the "tools of automation" have brought this imperative goal within the reasonable grasp of manufacturing management in almost every segment of industry. However, to utilize this progress, it is necessary to acquire a working understanding of all facets of automation.
