Most manufacturing companies with batch-and-queue “push” production systems have been blindsided by today’s consumer who expects quality products and services delivered on demand and customized to individual taste. In The Perfect Engine, manufacturing experts Anand Sharma and Patricia E. Moody describe for the first time how leading “pull” production pioneers build to order by reducing inventory, decreasing cycle time, minimizing floor space, and eliminating waste.

Description

Drawing on scores of examples and detailed case studies of three leaders in the demand economy field — Maytag, Pella, and Mercedes-Benz — Sharma and Moody demonstrate how these companies achieved astonishing results using the pathbreaking LeanSigmaSM Transformation. Combining lean production and quality elements from the famous Six Sigma process, LeanSigma produces annual productivity gains of 15 percent to 20 percent. In addition, the authors show, inventory turns more than quadruple; cycle times drop by more than 70 percent; and floor space reductions of 30 percent to 50 percent are not uncommon.

  1. Simon Jennings

    The new bible for how to improve any manufacturing company. It advances the state of the art with the LeanSigma methodology and provides great insight on how to do it. It’s the first book that makes it clear that in order to be successful, a company must adopt this approach as its overall business strategy.
