In the decade since the publication of Rajan Suri's landmark book,
Quick Response Manufacturing, the innovative principles of QRM have
been proven with impressive results at many companies, big and
small, in a variety of industries. While the key principles of QRM
remain unchanged, after a decade of teaching QRM workshops to
senior executives, Suri has developed a clear, concise, and
accessible method of presenting QRM strategy using four core
concepts: 1. The Power of Time - the huge impact time has on your
entire enterprise 2. Organization Structure - how to structure your
organization to reduce lead times 3. System Dynamics -
understanding how interactions between jobs and resources impact
time to make better decisions on capacity, lot sizes, and similar
issues 4. Enterprise-Wide Application - QRM is not just a shop
floor strategy, it extends across your whole enterprise including
material planning and control, supply management, office
operations, and new product introduction Presenting new case
studies on QRM implementation, It's About Time: The Competitive
Advantage of Quick Response Manufacturing illustrates how QRM can
not only reduce lead times but also improve quality, reduce
operating costs, and enable companies to gain substantial market
share. This practical reference explains how factories in advanced
nations can use QRM strategy to compete with manufacturers in
low-wage countries. In addition, it provides helpful pointers for
QRM implementation, including accounting strategies, novel
cost-justification approaches, and a stepwise process for
implementation. Also included are downloadable resources with five
appendices that provide a number of practical details to assist in
the success of your QRM implementation. When you are ready to start
implementing QRM, you will find that these appendices contain
time-saving tips to help you work through implementation
issues?including simple calculation methods and tools to support
the design of your QRM strategy. You can also access these
