Increasingly, companies are turning to World Class Manufacturing (WCM) not only to compete but to improve the quality of their products while saving, and even cutting costs. This book details steps towards WCM that are not only effective, but are easily implemented in a traditional corporate structure without, in many cases, instituting massive organisation changes. Coverage offers concise descriptions of the evolution and current status of industrial automation technology, quality improvement, operations craftmanship, and performance measurement in manufacturing operations. Also included are measurements (Dynamic Performance Measures) that continually monitor both plant and individual performance in manufacturing operations. This book should be of interest to manufacturing engineers and managers.
