This book presents a number of case studies that examine widely held beliefs in the manufacturing industry that have been proven to be groundless. Addressing these beliefs and attitudes that can actually be detrimental to competitiveness, it uses real-world examples to outline simple solutions in each case. Dispelling the myth in question, each chapter supplies specific examples that readers can easily relate to. Among the myths dispelled are that increasing line speed always reduces quality and increases scrap; and that reducing the cost of raw materials will reduce the cost of manufacturing.
