THE MARKET-DRIVEN CONTRACT NET IS A NEXT- GENERATION PRODUCTION PLANNING AND CONTROL SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR SMALL-BATCH AND JOB-SHOP MANUFACTURERS. THE MARKET- DRIVEN CONTRACT NET ARCHITECTURE IS FULLY DISTRIBUTED, OPERATING OVER A NETWORK OF COMPUTERS. IT IS MARKET-DRIVEN IN THE SENSE THAT IT LINKS CUSTOMERS DIRECTLY TO THE CURRENT CAPABILITIES OF THE MANUFACTURING FLOOR. THIS CASE STUDY IS BASED ON THE SMALL PARTS SHOP AT THE GE STEAM TURBINE GENERATOR BUSINESS IN SCHENECTADY, NEW YORK. IT PRIMARILY CONCERNS THE QUALITY OF THE SCHEDULE CREATED BY THE MARKET-DRIVEN CONTRACT NET AND THE SPEED OF SCHEDULE CREATION. IN THIS CASE STUDY, THE MARKET-DRIVEN CONTRACT NET SHOWS 47% WORK-IN-PROGRESS INVENTORY REDUCTIONS, 59% AVERAGE TIME-IN-PROGRESS REDUCTIONS, 3% TOTAL-WORK-CONTENT REDUCTIONS, 3% PRODUCTION-COST REDUCTIONS, AND SUBSTANTIAL TARDINESS REDUCTIONS.
