Summary
This book draws on the author's own experiences implementing constraint management within UK manufacturing, using case studies to highlight the key issues that substantially enhance bottom-line performance. It examines the roles of new product development, production, and distribution; team development; and the strategic focus required to turn what the author calls the "Revenue Chain" into a practical approach for any company. Constraint Management in Manufacturing: Optimising the Global Supply Chain is ideal for anyone teaching operations management and will also act as a useful guide for those seeking to improve the performance of their own company.
