Abstract
Enormous improvements are possible by synchronizing manufacturing tasks sequentially within a short lead time and by creating cycle times by which many different kinds of work can be fitted together like clockwork. Actually achieving close synchronization requires utmost effort to improve every aspect of a manufacturing organization. A concept central to the improvement is the creation and use of cyclic schedules. The paper discusses how and why these relationships exist.Keywords
