Lluís Cuatrecasas Arbós

In this work it is exposed as regards the organization and management in the field of Production or Operations, of great importance for companies to obtain good results, since it is in the production processes where the company generates its greater or lesser added value , which is precisely the source of the benefit obtained. The book covers all types of operations, whether industrial or services, and also makes a special impact on the most advanced and innovative systems of organization and management of production and everything that affects it: products, processes, quality, logistics, maintenance, projects, costs, etc. The emphasis that this work makes on the most current methodologies is especially relevant, since there have been great changes whose motor has been the evolution of our society and, especially, that of the markets and the behavior of consumers in the last quarter of century. These changes have resulted in a new management approach known as "lean production" or lean, characterized by a better use of resources and greater flexibility to adapt to the varied and changing demands of the markets. The knowledge that allows the reader to keep up to date with regard to the organization and management of production systems and their different management areas has been gathered in a single treaty, so that it can be decided how to guide management in all these aspects and thus achieve what should be the objective of all business management: obtain the highest possible efficiency and competitiveness.
