| Tiivistelmä: | For the purposes of this article, we define a focused plant as one with a limited and consistent set of demands that originate from its products, processes, and customers, enabling the factory to effectively support the business strategy. However, many manufacturing executives define focus simply as having a limited number of products. But although limiting the number of products will usually help a plant improve its focus, this definition is too narrow. The key is to limit the demands placed on manufacturing by the number of processes and customers as well as the number of products. Moreover , the number of products is not as important as the number of different products. A focused plant can have a large number of products if they belong to the same family and consist of options and features that do not place different demands on manufacturing. |
