This sequel to the bestselling "Manufacturing at Warp Speed," refines and updates the former approach to production management with new ideas that complement earlier tactics. This is the first book to detail the application of the TOC approach to assured availability in distribution to original equipment manufacturers and retailers. The book reviews the connections between operating, marketing, and manufacturing not only as agile but reliable. The authors address the new demands taken on when a firm offers the market the ability to handle rush orders. They also cover the issues surrounding availability, and the management of inventory as it moves through distribution systems.
