Production Flow Analysis for Planning Group Technology
This book is being reissued in paperback to coincide with the publication of Burbidge's new book, Period Batch Control. In recent years there has been much effort directed towards a critical examination and reappraisal of traditional methods in manufacturing plants. Group technology and production flow analysis have emerged from this reappraisal as one of the major strategic tools available to manufacturing analysts. Instead of basing the classification and coding of parts into families by analysing design drawings, production flow analysis creates families by analysing `route cards' showing how parts are made. Using this method, one achieves both a total division of made components into families and a parallel total division of the existing machines into groups, using the existing established processing methods. The methods explained in this book are eminently practical and easy to understand.
Period Batch Control
Period Batch Control (PBC) is Just in Time (JIT) 'Flow Control', single-cycle, Production Control method, based on a series of short standard periods, generally of one week or less. The book describes the advantages of the method. It eliminates the 'Surge effect', it reduces throughput time, stocks and stock holding costs, and it simplifies ordering, operation scheduling and 'Loading', or the control of Load and Capacity. The book describes methods for planning the system; for planning and controlling its introduction, and gives examples of its use in practice. Particular attention is paid to the time constraints such as throughput time and set-up which have to be reduced before PBC can be used. It is shown that PBC is the ideal Production Control method for use with Group Technology (GT). GT makes a major contribution to the reduction of time constraints, thus simplifying the introduction of PBC. PBC on the other hand simplifies ordering, operation scheduling and loading, greatly improving the efficiency of GT.

OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
A successful Operations Management (OM) requires a totality perspective: it has to have a cross-functional approach, involving all operations functions, such as Engineering, Human Resource Management (HRM), Purchasing, Manufacturing, Logistics, Accounting, Finance, and Marketing. This book comprehensively delves on all components of Operations Management, and pans out practical approaches for their effective and efficient handling. The book shows how Operations Management integrates the Top management, i.e. strategic level; Middle management, i.e. tactical level; and Functional management, i.e. operational slevel functions, to complement each other. Divided into 11 sections containing 28 cha...
Group Technology and Cellular Manufacturing
Group Technology and Cellular Manufacturing (GT/CM) have been widely-researched areas in the past 15 years and much progress has been made in all branches of GT/CM. Resulting from this research activity has been a proliferation of techniques for part-machine grouping, engineering data bases, expert system-based design methods for identifying part families, new analytical and simulation tools for evaluating performance of cells, new types of cell incorporating robotics and flexible automation, team-based approaches for organizing the work force and much more; however, the field lacks a careful compilation of this research and its outcomes. The editors of this book have commissioned leading re...

Axiomatic Design and Fabrication of Composite Structures
The idea that materials can be designed to satisfy specific performance requirements is relatively new. With high-performance composites, however, the entire process of designing and fabricating a part can be worked out before manufacturing. The purpose of this book is to present an integrated approach to the design and manufacturing of products from advanced composites. It shows how the basic behavior of composites and their constitutive relationships can be used during the design stage, which minimizes the complexity of manufacturing composite parts and reduces the repetitive "design-build-test" cycle. Designing it right the first time is going to determine the competitiveness of a company...
Work Teams: Past, Present and Future
This book places current and future work team practices in historical context. Researchers from 10 countries have contributed chapters that represent developments specific to their regions and that illustrate the way ideas spread around the world. Some principles of effective teaming were independently discovered in different countries, and some principles emerged from the work of researchers like Trist, Emery, and Lewin and spread around the world. But all of the practices were driven by the dynamic tension between the psychology of the employee and business necessities. Theories and cases describe autonomous work groups, self-managed work teams, cell teams, and other collaborative work structures. Contributions to the design of such structures came from psychology, management, sociology, industrial engineering, and manufacturing. Because of the challenges inherent in reorganising work around teams instead of individuals, organizations are at different stages in evolving into 21st century work systems.
