Production
This course is designed to help produc-
tion and inventory control practitioners
to understand the philosophies and
changes required for just -in -time or
stockless production. Stockless pro-
duction is a rethinking of the basic
fundamentals of our current manufac-
turing/business philosophies. The Jap-
anese have proven that this philosophy
works very well in today's manufactur-
ing environments. This course will start
practitioners towards understanding
and applying stockless production/zero
inventory concepts.

changes in basic business philosophy,
such as stockless production are nec-
essary in order for North American
companies to continue to grow and
prosper in world markets.
