Period Batch Control

By John L. Burbidge

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 'flow control', 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.
