Abstract
Batch manufacture occurs where the demand for individual items is insufficient to justify the installation of dedicated resources and other mass manufacturing techniques for the production of each item. The batch manufacturing environment, or job shop, consists of general-purpose machine tools capable of being fitted with various tools and fixtures to perform a wide variety of jobs. Individual items are grouped in batches, and their production proceeds in a series of discontinuous steps.
Dr. Harinder Jagdev received his Batchelor of Technology, in Mechanical Engineering (1974), with First Class Honours from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India. He joined Mercedes Benz where he worked for over two years as a Production Engineer. In 1976 he joined UMIST, Manchester, from where he received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Manufacturing Technology in 1977 and 1980, respectively. Having worked as a research associate for some time, he is currently a Projects Officer in the Control Systems Centre of UMIST. Since 1980 he has been consultant in all aspects of Production Management to many organizations in Europe.
