Performance Analysis of Manufacturing Systems

Performance Analysis of Manufacturing Systems by Tayfur Altiok.

Manufacturing industries are devoted to producing high-quality products in the most economical and timely manner. Quality, economics, and time not only indicate the customer-satisfaction level, but also measure the manufacturing per­ formance of a company. Today's manufacturing environments are...
