This book provides ... new content on developing sequence-based cellular manufacturing by considering probabilistic demand, risk, and uncertainty. This is further linked to the bottom line and profitability. ... The approach is very technical and detailed. The content builds nicely from a general overview to more advanced statistical, design, and risk approaches. ... Cellular manufacturing is typically presented at a high level for process improvement. Cellular Manufacturing: Mitigating Risk and Uncertainty covers decision making and risk in considerable depth. This is a must read for technical manufacturing organizations to help reduce uncertainty through process design. --Beth Cudney, Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, USA Very well written in simple language to understand easily the related topic. The book covers the survey highlighting the current practices and how to improve the manufacturing techniques using Cellular Manufacturing system. -Dr. Abdul Razzak Rumane, Dar Alkuwait Alkhaleejia Kuwait This book provides ... new content on developing sequence-based cellular manufacturing by considering probabilistic demand, risk, and uncertainty.
