Today's customers want products configured just the way they want, delivered as quickly as possible, and only in the quantity needed. In the past, many different configurations would have been built and held in inventory in order to meet these requirements. Today, that isn't practical.

They explain how the techniques they have devised are being used today in factories in the United States, Italy, Rumania and several other countries.
