description: For all engineers and manufacturers looking to reduce manufacturing lead times and stock investment, eliminate 'surge effects', and simplify control of load and capacity, this book provides a comprehensive explanation of how to do so using period batch control methods. A just-in-time 'flowcontrol', single cycle, production control method, PBC has many advantages, including its compatibility with group technology. This book describes those benefits, as well as planning a PBC system and controlling its implementation, and provides plentiful examples of its use in practice.
