Fast Track to Waste-Free Manufacturing

In Fast Track to Waste-Free Manufacturing: Straight Talk from a Plant Manager, John Davis details a new and proven system called Waste-Free Manufacturing (WFM) that rapidly deploys the lean process. This book will give you step-by-step directions for making rapid, lasting changes. Davis has created and linked four new drivers (workplace organization, uninterrupted flow, error-free process, and insignificant changeover) of WFM and details what order to do them in and when to move on to the next driver. He covers nearly every aspect of the lean revolution and provides the essential tools and techniques you will need to implement WFM. He also addresses the critical management issues that will arise in any plant that is striving to be world class. Drawing from more than 30 years of manufacturing experience, John Davis gives you tools and techniques for eliminating waste. WFM is not a theory. It is a proven process, and one the author has successfully implemented. Davis fully details the journey of a factory that moved from mass to waste-free manufacturing in a matter of 24 months. Wall Street analysts recognized this factory as an effective manufacturing model. You will learn how to rapidly deploy WFM and change the system of production. Filled with checklists, an ongoing case study, and, most importantly, strategies that will work, Fast Track to Waste-Free Manufacturing: Straight Talk from a Plant Manager will provide you with the principles and methodology for WFM.
