ABSTRACT
You will see how QRM extends beyond the shop floor to your office operations, materials-planning systems, supply chain, and even accounting. More specifically, in this chapter, I show you how to:
Achieve quick response in your office operations such as estimating • and quoting, engineering, scheduling, and order processing. Restructure your materials-planning system to support QRM.• Implement POLCA, a shop floor control system for low-volume or • custom-engineered products. Transform your purchasing operations using Time-Based Supply • Management. Implement quick response in new-product introduction.•
Chapter 5 will then give you a road map for successful implementation of QRM in your organization, including ways to adjust your accounting and cost-justification methods to support QRM.
