Author: John W. Davis
Here is a new and proven system called Waste-Free Manufacturing (WFM) that rapidly deploys the lean process. The book will give you step-by-step directions to making rapid, lasting changes. Davis has created 4 new drivers of WFM and has linked them so that you know what order to do them in and when it is time to move to the next driver. He covers nearly every aspect of the lean revolution and provides the essential tools and techniques you will need to implement WFM. He also addresses the critical management issues that will arise in any plant that is striving to be world class. Drawing from more than 30 years of manufacturing experience, John Davis gives you tools and techniques for eliminating waste. WFM is not a theory. It is a proven process, and one that the author has successfully implemented. He fully details the journey of a factory that moved from mass to waste-free manufacturing in a matter of 24 months. Wall Street analysts recognized this factory as an effective manufacturing model. Filled with checklists, an ongoing case study, and, most important, strategies that will work, this book will provide you with the principles and methodology for WFM and a road map for its successful implementation.
