Abstract
The competitive pressures being placed on Western manufacturing
organizations require new restructuring models, which take account of
value‐adding capability and guide investment. Time‐based manufacturing
strategies offer a framework to develop the total input/output chain in
isolation of selling price. This method can be used successfully in
batch‐manufacturing companies to reduce throughput time and conversion
cost – the method is non‐capital‐intensive and involves total
company and people commitment. Discusses a case study and results from
implementation in a JIT environment in the electrical switchgear
industry. Further research is required to link throughput time reduction
with total factory cost and investment justification.
