Beschreibung
Explore modern manufacturing models and understand how to become a high performing and reliable organisation, excelling in operational excellence.
Many production managers have de-stocked excessively large inventories, gone lean, experimented with continuous improvement processes and introduced new working practices. These interventions have largely failed. Businesses have also failed to invest in the workforce that undertakes improvements. This means that cash flow stops quickly, stocks are depleted to zero and customers lose confidence.
Systems for Manufacturing Excellence looks at how people and technology work effectively together to generate high performance manufacturing and service operations. Not everyone is a Toyota but that does not mean we cannot learn from such businesses. The book will present a logic, variety of approaches and methods that underpin the different models of high performance used by 'world class' businesses. The authors use examples from their training with Toyota, work with Tesco, and many world class manufacturing businesses that form their research agenda. The book will help teams run each part of their production process for effectiveness and efficiency, with a high level of discipline that supports excellence in performance.
Examines the real secrets of highly effective production processes in winning organizations, such as Rolls Royce, Toyota and Land Rover, as well as Tesco and Unilever
Explains socio-technical systems and their design through in-depth case studies of best practice
Investigates high performing organisations and their use of six sigma and lean manufacturing
Presents tools to help managers improve processes and the sustainability of improvement such as sand cone models and the supportive model of manufacturing
