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.
