Reviews & endorsements
"This book has that added unmistakable ring of being written by someone who has been deeply involved in the successful implementation of these principles. . . In short : recommended, down to earth reading for both students and practitioners in manufacturing without the evangelistic hype that too often accompanies terms such as "business excellence".
Manufacturing Engineer (Journal of the Institute of Electrical Engineers) - Full review
