st-in-time concepts (JIT), Materials Requirements Planning II (MRP II), statistical process control (SPC), total quality commitment (TQC), and batching of work flows. Many gear producers responded that they had adopted several of these management techniques during 1-8. The following tabulation shows the management techniques most uently employed by gear producers and the tots number of gear producers that reported adopting these techniques during 1-8: Management technique Producers Statistical Process Control 5 Just-In-time 3 Flexible manufacturing cells 2 Total Quality Commitment 2 Materials Requirements Planning II 2 Batching of work flows 2 Table 4-6 Gears and gearing: .. producers' scrap rate, rework rate, acceptable production rate, and producer-reported ontime delivery rate, 1-8 Year Scrap rate Rework rate Acceptable production On-time delivery rate Percent 3.8 Parts per 1 5.1 7.0 1 8.4 1 3.4 4.1 7.2 8.4 1 3.1 3.9 8.4 8.8 1 3.2 4.0 8.8 8.5 1 3.0 4.0 8.0 8.6 Source: Compiled from data submitted in response to questionnaires of the .. International Trade Commission. 4-7 Other producers indicated they had adopted such measures prior to 1, while others plan to adopt them in 1. The benefits derived from the use of these manufacturing management techniques partially explain the decline of scrap rates and the rise in the ratio of acceptable production as shown in table 4-6. Some .. gear producers appear to have moved to flexible manufacturing cells in 1 and 1, with other producers just beginning to use them in 1. Although the use of flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) is not extensive, they are increasingly being installed by large captive producers of gearing. FMSs are typically used in either the gear box machining or the gear production processes. The adoption of MRP II in 1 and 1 coincided with its introduction as re lacement for Materials Requirements Planning ). Thirty firms implemented JIT
