This sequel to the bestselling Manufacturing at Warp Speed, refines and updates the former approach to production management. This is the first book to describe, in detail, the application of the TOC approach to assured availability in distribution, for both original equipment manufacturers and retailers. It addresses the new demands taken on when a firm offers to handle rush orders and addresses the issues surrounding availability, and the management of inventory as it moves through distribution systems.
