Production assurance performance

The concept of Production Assurance increasingly plays an important role to support the decision-making process for the managers and engineers dealing with challenges to meet the varying demand of customers as well as production control. The Production Assurance concept incorporates several other concepts such as availability, reliability, maintainability, supportability, capacity and so on. The aim of this paper is to discuss such concept and its applicability for manufacturing production processes. The other closely related topics to this concept such as throughput capacity, demand capacity and on-stream capacity are also presented.Godkänd; 2007; 20071009 (javbar
