Table of Contents:
"Although
this is not the normal detailed academic textbook, it covers most of the
techniques involved in achieving business excellence. It 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".
". . . one of the first books I would recommend for anyone who is contemplating, implementing or using an ERP system." (UK November 2002)
"Often details can be quite complicated, but the author dives into them in a clear, straightforward manner." (USA July 2002)
"Managers at every level in the organisation should be encouraged to read this book." (Pool UK Nov 2000)
Phil Robinson joined Knowles Electronics as Production Manager and subsequently became the project leader for their 1985 class "A" MRPII implementation, only the second in the UK. In 1989 Knowles introduced the first international EDI kanban with a customer in Denmark. By 1994 lead times had been reduced from 8 weeks to next day kanban delivery, inventory reduced by one third, on time in full was better than 99.5% and customer returns reduced to less than 300 parts per million.
