Abstract

In Chap. 4 we have developed the performance metrics of manufacturing and process lead time applied to SPF and B&Q principle enunciating the following theorems for a mono-product cell:

  • Theorem of Generalized Lead Time

  • Theorem of Lead Time Stability

  • Main Theorem of Production Time (SPF dominance)

  • Theorem of Debottlenecking

  • Central Limit Theorem of Manufacturing CLTM (Identity theorem)

  • Theorem of Stochastic Cycle Time Variability.
