Following in the tradition of its bestselling predecessor, The 12
Principles of Manufacturing Excellence: A Lean Leader's Guide to
Achieving and Sustaining Excellence, Second Edition outlines a
comprehensive, proven process for delivering world-class
performance while also cultivating the right culture through
leadership, mentoring, and hourly associate involvement. While most
books on continuous improvement focus on specific tools and
methods, this book details a top-down strategy and process that
Lean leaders can use to implement and sustain manufacturing
excellence. It outlines a clear pathway to excellence via the 12
Principles of Manufacturing Excellence and provides a method for
tracking progress-plant by plant and function by function. This
updated edition includes a new chapter on real stories about poor
leadership at the top. Also featured are new and updated figures
and exhibits. It contains chapters devoted to each principle of
manufacturing excellence along with a chapter on each leader's
role. Illustrating the importance of using Lean and Six Sigma tools
to improve your business, the book: Details a comprehensive
approach for achieving and sustaining excellence-from board room
strategy to shop floor execution Integrates strategy and leadership
development Paves a path for culture change that prepares hourly
employees to take control of their processes and prepares
management to enable them to do it Details an audit process for
identifying priorities for improvement and tracking progress and
ensuring sustainability Tapping into more than four decades of
leadership experience, 35 years of it in the manufacturing
industry, Larry Fast explains how to achieve both vertical and
horizontal alignment across your organization. Like the previous
edition, the book includes a CD with color versions of the images
in the book, a manufacturing excellence reading list, and formulas
for selected metrics. The CD also includes a sample manufacturing
excellence audit (a powerful tool to achieve and sustain the
journey), a sample communications plan, a sample communications
plan calendar, a sample training plan, and a new Project
Prioritization worksheet-all of which can be easily customized to
meet your organization's specific needs.
