Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This is a comprehensive look into the total materials managementof a manufacturing operation. This book puts professionalism intomaterials management. Most manufacturing disciplines are backed byengineering, finance, or business degrees, but very little isgeared toward the materials management field. This book helps torectify that shortcoming."--Michael D. Sanna, Thirty PlusYears in manufacturing management "Stan knows how to get the best out of your materials managementsystem. He works with all facets of the organization, includinglean, to implement the materials business processes that makesense."--Jim McManus, Director, Process Engineering, HennigesAutomotive "This publication is an excellent depiction of how material flowshould be managed in a perfect operating environment. Thebook's format is written in an easy-to-read and -followformat that allows the reader to visualize the process flowsmoothly. The examples are clear in 'what if' formatand show what happens to the supply chain if a process is notperformed properly, resulting in disruptions in production. It isclear that all disciplines must be followed throughout the supplychain process to properly execute accurate planning and inventorywhile still allowing the productive side enough material to runlean and efficiently. This periodical explains how to do justthat."--Chuck Hineman, Transportation and Packaging Manager,Behr America Inc.Weitere Details
