Produktbeschreibung

Examining the current U.S. manufacturing environment, including the unsustainable trade imbalance, this book outlines concrete suggestions that can help stop the outflow of manufacturing jobs and prosperity from our shores. The book explains why many companies have not reaped the benefits promised from the implementation of the multitude of improvement methodologies that have inundated manufacturers and outlines the steps companies can take to reverse this trend. The author's background in engineering and manufacturing, in both national and international assignments, puts him in a unique position to supply insights on foreign competition that few are able to provide.
