Product Description The globalization of manufacturing is a key development in most industries over the last decade. New technologies like e-commerce, genetic algorithms, and neural networks have to be adapted to the manufacturing environment. This book deals with methods and tools suitable for designing, managing and controlling processes within the supply chain. Virtual Enterprise and Extended Enterprise are the terms which describe the challenges for global production management. The implementation of global production management requires integration of business processes, technical and organizational aspects. The main topics of the papers selected for this book are therefore:
The book contains case studies as well as reports on research findings. The papers represent a summary of current issues which have been presented at the International Conference on Advances in Production Management Systems (APMS) in September 1999. This event was sponsored by the International Federation of Information Processing (IFIP), and was organized by the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systems and Design Technology (IPK), Berlin. The authors are leading experts within the international community in the field of production management. Global Production Management is suitable as a reference for researchers and practitioners in global manufacturing, supply chain management, logistics and IT services, and consultants. It can also be used as further reading for advanced courses on management and manufacturing. | ||

Overall, less than sterling This book is devoid of plot, though the use of 6-point type and an antiquated font (namely:82Gremlin) make this an enjoyable read, particularly if you're the kind of person who enjoys consuming toenail clippings and pizzette with prociutto. I can't suggest you read this if your intelligence roll was less than a 17, though if you have a +2 mace or the magic missile spell, you might be able to guilbault a dungeon or two. | ||
