Description
From the Dust Jacket
Picture a pipeline running through your factory or department. Work flows in one end, and finished products come out the other. But throughout the pipeline there are dents, turns, detours, and holes. Just-in-Time/Total Quality Control provides a process to continuously identify and prioritize problems in the pipeline, and a mechanism to motivate their elimination. With Just-in-Time/ Total Quality Control, dents and holes are identified between customers and suppliers, employees are stimulated to smooth out problems, and detours are exposed and eliminated to minimize waste. Just-in-Time/Total Quality Control leads us step-by-step toward high velocities in the pipeline. With a pipeline full of inventory, we can continue to make shipments despite the problems with a smooth flow. But the question is not whether we can continue to ship, but whether we can continue to get orders with processes that are not conducive to responsive shipments, low costs, and high quality. This is the first book to bridge the gap between the philosophy of Just-in-Time/Total Quality Control and the processes to make it practical. With a focus on “how-to,” this book walks you through each functional area of the company to help everyone understand the changes that will occur and their role in “making it happen.”
