Description
This work offers American businesspeople practical guidance on how best to implement the new ideals of manufacturing - from just-in-time inventory to total quality. At present, most companies are coming to terms with the fact that they must "leandown", and the technology exists to make the transition viable. The much bigger challenge, Hall demonstrates, is creating a different "soul of the enterprise" that moves beyond a belief in growth as the ultimate objective, and focuses on speed, efficiency, respect for the environment and the needs of the customer. Filled with examples from such companies as Next, HP, Florida Power and Light, Toyota and Cummins Engine, this book uses the lessons of the past, and looks to the future, outlining in clear steps a new direction for American manufacturing. Other books by Robert Hall include "Attaining Manufacturing Excellence", "Measuring Up: Charting Pathways to Manufacturing Excellence" and "Zero Inventories".
