Fundamentals of Production Logistics [electronic resource] : Theory, Tools and Applications /
Nyhuis, Peter.author.
Wiendahl, Hans-Peter.author.
This book comprehensively encapsulates for the first time the fundamentals of modeling Logistic Operating Curves for production and storage processes including how they can be derived and calculated based on standard operating data. Logistic Operating Curves solve the dilemma between conflicting logistic targets and open up the frequently hidden potential of the throughput time and WIP without requiring excessive restructuring or capital expenditures. Based on this knowledge a variety of useful tools and practical applications are presented and discussed.
Description based upon print version of record.
