Production Control in the Process Industry Proceedings of the Ifac Workshop, Osaka, 29-31 and Kariya, Japan, 1-2 Nov. 1989

The papers within this volume reflect the multidisciplinary approach taken by the workshop to the development and improvement of existing production control theories and practices as applied to the process industry. Subjects covered include production planning, quality control and assurance, operational control and maintenance strategy. The development of this area is seen by those at the workshop as only being achieved by various groups working together rather than in isolation, so that the overall aim of production control is not lost in too much detail. This volume will provide the reader with essential information on new initiatives in the process industry with regard to production control.O' Shima, E. is the author of 'Production Control in the Process Industry Proceedings of the Ifac Workshop, Osaka, 29-31 and Kariya, Japan, 1-2 Nov. 1989' with ISBN 9780080369297 and ISBN 0080369294.
