Agile manufacturing describes responsive manufacturing that can deliver better products faster, and at a lower cost. This book examines how to bring this type of flexibility into your own manufacturing facility by modifying your current computer software and system. Don't throw out what you have and start fresh. Maskell shows how to work with any system, making it possible for any company to become an agile manufacturer. Utilizing numerous case studies from companies such as Xerox, General Motors, Harley-Davidson, Motorola and others, Maskell explores the corrent software movement, from MRP II (both its benefits and limitations) to alternative methods being implemented by companies trying to match their software to new worldclass methodologies.
After 20 years of working in the manufacturing industry the author had discovered:
Companies reach world-class status only with strong leadership and management.
World-class companies have learned how to simplify their processes including their computer systems.
Becoming world-class can mean a very painful transition process. There is great diversity in approach; only the goal is the same for all.
Providing software to support a company in transition is a complex task. The software must support a gradual, smooth transition. Once at the world-class level, developing software is relatively simple.
For any manufacturing manager or MIS employee struggling with inadequate systems and software to reach world-class status, Software and the Agile Manufacturer offers the practical solutions and guidance needed to get through the complex and difficult transitional period.
