This volume demonstrates the various ways of reducing product lead times and batch quantities in machine shop situations. By discussing the streamlining of the manufacturing process the authors demonstrate the economics of both reducing lead times and batch quantities as well as methods of appraising these economic changes. The technology required to effect any change and the fundamental need to build in planned maintenance regimes and effective calibration procedures for the machine tools is also stressed.
