QRM-tool to cut lead times

By Staff -- Modern Materials Handling, 10/1/1998

"We're under pressure from our customers to cut lead times." Sound familiar? Probably so, and particularly true if you're in one of the more competitive, fast-changing manufacturing areas.

And, if that's the case, you might consider reading a new book, Quick Response Manufacturing: A Companywide Approach to Reducing Lead Times. Written by Rajan Suri, industrial engineering professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison, the 544-page volume is a detailed look at how QRM strategies have worked for companies such as John Deere, Beloit Corp., and Ingersoll, and how you can implement these practices in your own company.

Published by Productivity Press (list price: $50), the book can be ordered by calling 1-800-394-6868.
