Back Cover Copy
Many of the problems manufacturers face seem to defy intuitive solutions . . . and are full of uncertainty and risk. But every situation—no matter how tentative or unsettling it seems—can be logically analyzed and systematically mapped out.
High-Mix, Low-Volume Manufacturing covers the entire spectrum of manufacturing-related topics, from competitive strategies through performance measurements. Although there is a special focus on high-mix, low-volume manufacturing, there is much useful and valuable information for people in all other types of manufacturing. This book is a thorough reference for practitioners and academics interested in how manufacturing should and can be run.
High-Mix, Low-Volume Manufacturing is a groundbreaking work, integrating ideas from many sources. In this book, manufacturing fundamentals are re-examined in a way that often gets overlooked by corporate strategists. This book is a comprehensive, practical, and detailed educational reference covering “global” concepts through “tactical” ideas in a clear and concise manner. The goal of this book is to develop the manufacturing core competencies required to obtain a competitive advantage. This book has both an immediate and long-term payoff.
Customer Reviews & Comments
Mahoney's book can be considered an excellent reference work for individuals in the field of manufacturing literature. It contains information on almost every manufacturing concept or idea presented in the last 50 years. The author, R. Michael Mahoney's, years of experience and training as an engineer are evident throughout the work. The book is written in a straightforward style. Material is presented matter-of-factly. Many explanations are provided in the form of over a hundred charts, graphs, tables, Venn diagrams, and mathematical equations. "High-Mix, Low-Volume Manufacturing" is not a casual read. It is meant to be analyzed and studied in order to gain the insights described within the text. Mahoney details concepts and ideas in order to help the reader understand the techniques and tools needed to successfully operate in a high-mix, low-volume manufacturing operation. The best approach to the work is to read it in stages. This allows the reader to fully grasp and understand the topics discussed prior to reading to another section. The work is well positioned as a reference book
