As much as 90 percent of the operational activities in a traditional plant is often nonessential or pure waste. Cycle Time Management provides an exact time-based methodology for eliminating most—if not all—of this waste within 24 to 30 months. It details the use of a cohesive management strategy that integrates just in-time (JIT) production, computer integrated manufacturing (CIM), and total quality control (TQC). Written by the developers of Cycle Time Management (CTM), this text explains how to measure productivity in terms of time, instead of revenue or people. It offers a fully detailed process for CTM implementation augmented by case studies, and illustrations.
