Selecting the Right Manufacturing Improvement Tools offers an
easy-to-read and comprehensive review of the most important current
industrial improvement tools that every manufacturing or industrial
executive, operational manager or engineer needs to know, including
which tool to use for a particular type of manufacturing situation.
But his book goes beyond a simple comparison of improvement tools
to show how these tools can be implemented and supported. Instead,
it offers a broader strategic explanation of how they relate to one
another, and their relative strengths and weaknesses in the larger
context of the entire enterprise. It demonstrates how to use these
tools in an integrated way such that they are not just be viewed as
another "program of the month" or management fad. Selecting the
Right Manufacturing Improvement Tools guides the use of these
individual management tools within the need for aligning the
organization, developing leadership, and managing change, all for
creating an environment where these tools will be more successfully
applied.

fictitious company called "Beta International," which continues its
journey to business excellence from author's previous book, Making
Common Sense Common Practice
- Describes the foundational elements necessary for anytool to work
- leadership, organizational alignment and discipline, teamwork,
performance measurement, change management, and the role of
innovation.

tools, and provides enough information so that individual
circumstances and issues can be related to these improvement tools,
making better decisions and having greater business success.
