- catalog abstract ""As Gerhard Plenert and Bill Kirchmier show in this book, companies cannot hope to achieve truly competitive levels of productivity as long as they rely upon outmoded scheduling models. The key to overcoming the costly bottlenecks, wasted resources, unpredictability, and customer alienation bred by traditional infinite capacity backward pass (ICBP), and achieving world-class levels of performance, is adopting a finite capacity scheduling system (FCS) - and now this book shows you how." "Finite Capacity Scheduling is the first comprehensive guide to understanding FCS and implementing and exploiting today's powerful new FCS systems. More importantly, it provides detailed guidelines for selecting, implementing, and using FCS technologies to help maximize resource use, decrease inventory costs, increase inventory turnover, improve customer service, and significantly enhance organizational communication and coordination." "A complete guide to achieving world-class productivity, Finite Capacity Scheduling is must reading for distribution and logistics managers, operations managers, and scheduling and planning professionals in all manufacturing industries."--Jacket.".
