Two tiered timing model for increasing process efficiency in one-of-a-kind production
(AGH University of Science and Technology Press, 2009) Specht, Dieter; Gruss, Renata
Rising competitive pressure in connection with rising heterogeneity of customer wishes has led to the assumption that in the future, an increased focus will be centered on one-of-a-kind production. The relevance of one-of-a-kind production in different branches increases. Hence, it is necessary for job shop and single item producers to increase their competitiveness by focusing on technology and boosting their process efficiency. The challenge now is to question existing added value structures and to pursue attempts to profoundly improve productivity. A feasible approach to tackle this challenge is lean production.
