Rezensionen

This book defines the role of production control and supply chain management from both a broad view and a 'nuts-and-bolts, how-to' perspective. The Plan for Every Part (PFEP) process will help your organization cut across the traditional silos of distribution, manufacturing, purchasing and logistics to create a transparent process that will enable you to truly supply the right part at the right time in the quantity needed.
-Mike Hoseus, Co-Author of Toyota Culture, Former General Manager, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky

Tim and Robyn have taken the PFEP to another level. Their detailed approach of applying PFEP principles to the entire supply chain will help any company eliminate waste and make progress on their lean journey.
-Earl D. Wilson, Co-Author of Making Materials Flow, President, Wilson Lean Concepts, Inc.



Robyn and Tim so humbly point out that every part has a story, and you have to listen to that story. This is a subtle, but very important point.... Plan for Every Part (PFEP) builds the foundation for supply chain excellence and if truly embraced, will lead to a sustainable competitive advantage with your customers.
-John Bohenick, Executive, Consultant, Board Director, & Former President of the Gates Corporation

A must read for any organization creating a lean enterprise by improving speed in the supply chain.
