About the Book

This volume identifies the principles that have proved effective in improving maufacturing systems. It provides recommendations for manufacturers, emphasizing three main areas: management philosophy and practice; methods used to measure and predict the performance of systems; and organizational learning and improving system performance through technology. Containing in-depth studies of several key issues in manufacturing, the text includes discussions on: employee involvement and empowerment; using learning curves to improve quality; measuring performances against that of the competition; customer satisfaction; and factory modernization.
