Production development: design and operation of production systems

The need for developing the area of industrial production is greater than ever. Outsourcing is not the only answer to the target of reducing product cost. Continuously developing production is a way of both controlling costs and of utilizing production as a competitive means in the business strategy. Production development is about improving existing production systems and developing new ones. The production system should be developed in integration with the product as a part of the overall product realization process, and not in sequence after the product has been designed. ‘Production Development’ takes an holistic perspective on the production system and its design process during the wholesystem life-cycle. A working procedure of how to design and realize the production system is presented, together with a number of related production development aspects. ‘Production Development’ can be used as reference book for teachers and students, or as a manual for professionals within the field of production.
