While most books on continuous improvement focus on specific pieces (e.g. TPM, TQM, Kaizen, 5S or VSM), this book helps leaders implement and sustain a top-down, comprehensive strategy for manufacturing excellence that uses all relevant tools while leaving the tools training to the technical experts. Regardless of a person's position on the team, this unique book helps leaders develop and/or confirm an understanding of how to think about their functions' role and how best to enable and sustain manufacturing excellence.
