Putting manufacturing operations on a diet

By Staff -- Modern Materials Handling, 5/1/1998

Want to learn more to make your manufacturing operations leaner? Here's a book that takes the case study approach and provides detailed, first-hand accounts of the process: "Becoming Lean: Inside Stories of U.S. Manufacturers."

Specific case studies include analysis of GM's Delphi Saginaw Steering Systems plant; Gelman Sciences, Inc.; and Western Geophysical Exploration Products; along with a look at seven auto parts suppliers efforts at continuous improvement.

University of Michigan's Jeffrey K. Liker, associate professor of industrial and operations engineering is the book's author (Productivity Press, $35 U.S.A.; call 503-235-0600).
