Running head: ADV PLANT MANAGEMENT1Advanced Plant ManagementArticle Review
ADV PLANT MANAGEMENT2Min, Hong, & Roh (2014) study how manufacturing firms cope with the complexities of global supply chains. The article suggests response mechanisms such as the Just In Time (JIT) system as structural models for advanced plants. Such models eliminate wastes and enhance effectiveness in performance through manufacturing drivers, strategic implementations and practices. The article sites contemporary market trends in the manufacturing industry where the consumer driven needs call for excellence and advanced techniques. In order to satisfy customer needs such as quality, a blend of responsive mechanisms such as low cost and speedy productions is necessary. The JIT model improves the flow process and is applicable in numerous systems such as the power generation industry, oil and gas plants, and chemical processes. The continuous improvement process in advanced plant systems is a goal pursued by many managers seeking to increase the rate of capacity and throughput. Advanced plant technics ensures the reduction of time spent in production and simplified processes and efficiency. This topic is interesting because it focuses on a critical part of production and maintenance. Its support for standardization is evident and it concentrates on how to make the process more efficient. This redirects attention to a result orientated process emphasized in the popular novel, The Goal[CITATION Cox \l 1033 ] . Chapter 11 to 14 of the book refers to an attempt by managers in a production plant to implement plant success factors in it. It notes that efficiency through resource balance, fluctuations and dependency of events support a production plant ( . The discussion also brings out limited capacity and efforts made to enhance potential throughput.It points out the importance of reduced wastage in the presence of plenty[CITATION Kum13 \p 26 \l 1033]. Market trends indicate the use of lean factors in engineering and manufacturing[CITATION San14 \l 1033]. This is because modern organizations focus on cost
