Time Based Manufacturing

Abstract

One of the most competitive industrial management techniques of the decade, time-based manufacturing (TBM) gives companies the ability to react in designing, producing, and delivering products and services to customers quickly. This book explains how TBM can improve a company's product supply system and shows how techniques such as SPC, JIT, TPM and project teams can be integrated to reduce cycle time and improve organizational performance. Other topics covered include linking market and manufacturig through the customer demand profile, expanding product variety with a product supply system, and enhancing system and process reliability using first run yield measures. In addition, case studies from three different industries show how TBM principles are implemented through each step of the manufacturing process.
