Infos

Master scheduling is an essential planning tool which helps manufacturing companies synchronize their production cycle with actual market demand. Taking into account a company's strategy, processes and operations, master schedulers can then devise a plan based on the needs of the company and the resources available. Master scheduling provides the backbone for all other operations and processes, including JIT, sales and operations planning, materials management, and engineering. This revised edition will reflect current developments and thinking, as well as new cases and examples. Two new chapters cover rationalization and master scheduling in the process industry.
