Abstract: "Back to Basics: Your Guide to Manufacturing Excellence provides a comprehensive reference for the fundamental principles of manufacturing. Not only do you get a solid definition of basic operational requirements, but also an easy-to-understand approach to resolving management problems." "Based on the popular "Back to Basics" column that appears in APICS: The Performance Advantage, the structure of the book allows for sufficient development of each topic yet is short enough to be read quickly. Topics include: capacity, inventory, inventory accuracy, part numbering, processes, problem solving, and general managerial guidelines. Each chapter has everything you need to understand the issues and their implications." "Whether you new on the job, or brushing up to implement the latest technology, Back to Basics: Your Guide to Manufacturing Excellence gives you the information necessary to become an expert - quickly."--Jacket.
