Written by the developers of Cycle Time Management® (CTM), this book gives you the means to measure productivity in terms of time instead of revenue or people. |
As much as 90% of the operational activities in a traditional plant are often nonessential or pure waste. Cycle Time Management gives you an exact methodology for eliminating most, if not all of this waste within 24 to 30 months.
Written by the developers of Cycle Time Management® (CTM), this book gives you the means to measure productivity in terms of time instead of revenue or people.
By reducing cycle time - the time from initial product concept to the first satisfied customer - you can increase your output of saleable product while you reduce< inventories and required working capital. CTM is a cohesive management strategy that integrates just-in-time (JIT) production, computer integrated manufacturing (CIM), and total quality control (TQC). This book presents a fully detailed process for CTM implementation.
-

-
