内容简介：Manufacturing is the process that transforms raw materials into a useful product. Everything, which is done at or for the factory floor operations, is viewed as manufacturing. Given machines and material handling devices, structuring a production system so that it operates as efficiently as the machines in isolation is one of the main problems in manufacturing, especially in large-volume manufacturing processes. To alleviate the mutual interference due to machine unreliability, achieve production objectives and meet customer demand, rigorous engineering methods for analysis, design and continuous improvement of production systems have been developed. These results lead to the fundamental laws of production systems, which are briefly overviewed in this talk.
