Abstract
The rapidly changing and highly competitive nature of today’s global markets have made manufacturing management practices an important weapon in companies’ competitive arsenal. The drive towards customer satisfaction brought by the Total Quality Management (TQM) movement has resulted in companies facing more stringent demands from their customers to reduce lead times and improve delivery performance. Customers are also demanding more customized products, resulting in a more diverse product mix than was previously the case. In addition, many production processes, such as those in electronics manufacturing, are rapidly becoming more complex as new, innovative technologies are deployed.
