摘要

In reality many businesses, like custom architectural millwork, produce an endless series of unique projects. These firms are true job shops where no two jobs are identical. Given this discontinuity, management must make sanity out of chaos. After all, chaos causes waste, and customers don't pay for that.rnThe lack of product and physical process repetition makes these operations ideal candidates for project-based thinking. Managers in such situations can benefit from the techniques employed in large capital projects to increase the level of sanity and ultimately of control.
