An information systems trailblazer in the domains of decision support and factory and supply chain synchronization, the Second Edition of Re-Engineering the Manufacturing System: Applying the Theory of Constraints stays true to its title, once again bestowing uniquely straightforward instructions for designing, installing, and operating manufacturing information systems. This updated and expanded source takes special care to clarify the often blurred concepts of synchronization and optimization, plus offers implementation advice from four discrete angles to yield better bottom-line results.
