Production Management: The Art of the Possible

Abstract

A satisfactory manufacturing policy can be drawn up systematically—amendments can them be audited. There are five axioms to take into account, three unities to preserve and the five Ps characterising the production management function. These, with SWOT analyses, provide a matrix by which policy can be examined.
