| Summary: | To be successful in business in today's competitive global marketplace, it is necessary to make quality product or service at the right time and at the right price. That means understanding modern industrial and management approaches and applying them effectively. This book reviews for industrial engineers and managers - indeed, for anyone interested in developing and managing effective operations - those numerous aspects of productive operations that determine how competitive success can be achieved. The book describes how much of what is needed can be started today, with little or no capital investment. Much of it simply involves dedicated and involved management providing leadership training, and discipline. The book emphasizes that a good place to start is to get out of your office, go down to the production floor, and simply ask "What are you doing and why are you doing it?" The answers and the results will amaze you! Material is presented on all current trends in industrial engineering, such as total quality management, concurrent engineering, Taguchi methods, JIT, and expert systems. There is superb explanation of the Kanban system and other Japanese techniques, as well as excellent treatment of the history nd future of industrial engineering. |
