Klappentext zu „One-of-a-Kind Production “
Despite the numerous competitive advantages of one-of-a-kind production (OKP), the low efficiency and high costs associated with OKP companies threaten to push their business opportunities into the hands of cheaper overseas suppliers.One-of-a-Kind Production introduces a novel strategy and technology to help OKP companies to efficiently mass-produce customized products. In One-of-a-Kind Production, case studies from OKP companies are used to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the OKP strategy and technology. These case studies include:
- a structural steel construction company,
- a manufacturer of specifically ordered compressors and refrigeration systems,
- a customized high pressure vessel manufacturing company, and
- a custom window and door manufacturer.
To help readers understand OKP strategy and technology, the authors offer a year's free access to the OKP Management and Control Software System. This system is based on a new integrated production control and management concept, namely product production structure. It is a useful tool - and One-of-a-Kind Production is a valuable guide - for production engineers and managerial staff in manufacturing companies, as well as for university researchers and graduate students.

Pressezitat
From the book reviews:"This book is interesting. It gives a complete original solution to manage mass customised production of specific product families. This book could be valuable for both academia and also service companies, even users in companies." (Alain Bernard, Production Planning & Control, Vol. 25 (16), 2014)
