Focuses on rapid implementation of practical, real-world cost
reduction solutions
In today's economic climate, the need to cut costs can be the
difference between success and failure. "Cost Reduction and
Optimization for Manufacturing and Industrial Companies" covers all
major cost reduction areas, providing easy to read examples and
advice on steps to take. It provides the roadmap for implementing
recommended actions with true and tried methods by taking a modern,
all-inclusive look at manufacturing processes. Based on the
author's cost reduction experience gained during 30 years of senior
operations and consulting engagements with hundreds of
organizations, this book includes easy-to-understand and
easy-to-implement cost reduction concepts organized into five
general areas --labor, material, design, process, and overhead.
Each chapter:
Dives into a cost reduction area and starts with the bottom line
first by summarizing key points
Provides proven tactics for cutting costs without a lot of
extraneous data
Follows a qualitative and design-oriented approach
Emphasizes quick implementation and measurable cost
reduction
Identifies who in the organization should do the work
Outlines risks and suggested risk mitigation actions
Contains numerous tables, graphs, and photos to show the
concepts described in the book
Praise for "Cost Reduction and Optimization for Manufacturing
and Industrial Companie"s
"In this introductory book, Berk not only takes a modern,
all-inclusive look at manufacturing processes but also provides
substantial coverage of engineering materials and production
systems. It follows a more qualitative and design-oriented approach
than other texts in the market, helping readers gain a better
understanding of important concepts. They'll also discover how
micro-economic conditions relate to the process variables in a
given process as well as how to perform manufacturing science and
quantitative engineering analysis of manufacturing
processes."--Fred Silverman, Director Engineering of Hi-Shear
Technology Corporation
"Joe Berk has created a unique, practical and straightforward
approach to cost reduction in manufacturing. This work provides
valuable insights and concrete techniques, based on real-world
experiences, to any manufacturing organization undertaking change
to position itself to compete successfully in the global
marketplace."--Joe Carleone, President and COO of American Pacific
Corporation
