Modern manufacturing today is overwhelmed with tools to manage all the very complex manufacturing operations going on at once. Countless new, innovative ideas regularly become the flavor of the month: Deming's Statistical Process Control, total quality management, Six Sigma, Lean, ISO 9000, just to name a few. All these programs offer outstanding tools to manage your business, make decisions, and manufacture a quality product-but none can be an instant fix or guarantee your business's success. What worked five years ago may have grown stale and no longer function for your business.
So, how can your organization know which best practice is most suited to its corporate personality and its needs right now?
Timely, insightful, and easy to read, Manufacturing Best Practices demystifies this topic. Author Bobby Hull delivers a hands-on resource providing complete guidance for CEOs, CFOs, and controllers, as well as line managers in the manufacturing sector.
