| Abstract |
"Communication is the glue that binds the diverse elements of the national economy. A flexible supply chain system creates postal communication agility and adaptability to respond to the changing technologies of the modern era. This book uses a systems-based approach of the tools and techniques of Industrial Engineering applied to a new concept of flexible supply chain systems, patterned after well-known and successful flexible manufacturing systems. It focuses on how Industrial Engineering can be used to achieve flexibility, resiliency, and efficiency in response to the needs of the global postal system. This book is an ideal read for engineers working in manufacturing production, civil, mechanical, and other industries. It will be of interest to engineering managers and consultants as well as those involved with business management. University students and instructors will also find this book useful"-- Provided by publisher. |
