Chapter 3 in Managing Manufacturing Operations: A Casebook, 1978, pp 27-37 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Parsons Peebles Motors and Generators Ltd is a large manufacturer of heavy electrical engineering equipment with factories in Edinburgh and Birmingham. The Edinburgh factory shares some common facilities with the Power Transformer Company which operates on the same site. The manufacture of transformers has many of the characteristics of flow line production, and, although dealing with very large items, control problems in the transformer company are relatively straightforward in principle. The two companies are managed quite separately.
