This project-oriented facilities design and material handling reference explores the techniques and procedures for developing an efficient facility layout, and introduces some of the state-of-the-art tools involved, such as computer simulation. A "how-to," systematic, and methodical approach leads readers through the collection, analysis and development of information to produce a quality functional plant layout. Lean manufacturing; work cells and group technology; time standards; the concepts behind calculating machine and personnel requirements, balancing assembly lines, and leveling workloads in manufacturing cells; automatic identification and data collection; and ergonomics. For facilities planners, plant layout, and industrial engineer professionals who are involved in facilities planning and design.
Motion and Time Study for Lean Manufacturing, Third Edition, offers step-by-step procedures, forms, and practical advice on uses of time standards, motion-study techniques, and time-study questions. It covers other topics such as workstation design, successful attitudes, and goals for motion- and time-study people.Some of the features of this text are: Illustrations and tables that support the concepts presented End-of-chapter review questions that help users of the text review and master the material presented in each chapter.An appendix of useful forms that help users apply the concepts of motion and time studyNew to this edition of the text are: A chapter dedicated to the concepts of lean manufacturing Additional charts, procedures, and forms that reflect the current theory and practices of the industry.This textbook also serves as a perennial reference on the application of motion- and time-study techniques.
A project-oriented text that covers the basics of plant layout and materials handling. It leads the readers through the collection, analysis and development of information to produce a quality plant layout. Examples present the material clearly and some experience with CAD programs is assumed.
Issues for 1860, 1866-67, 1869, 1872 include directories of Covington and Newport, Kentucky.
Designed for junior- and senior-level courses in Plant and Facilities Planning and Manufacturing Systems and Procedures, this textbook is also suitable for graduate-level and two-year college courses. The book takes a practical, hands-on, project-oriented approach to exploring the techniques and procedures for developing an efficient facility layout. It also introduces state-of-the-art tools including computer simulation. Access to Layout-iQ workspace planning software is included for purchasers of the book. Theoretical concepts are clearly explained and then rapidly applied to a practical setting through a detailed case study at the end of the volume. The book systematically leads students ...
