"Fortunately, I also learned a little about W" according to Allen. This book was part of my studies at ECU, where I received a BS in manufacturing, in 201Fortunately, I also learned a little about W This book was part of my studies at ECU, where I received a BS in manufacturing, in 2013. It portrays the current style of management in the western world, which has led us into industrial decline for decades. Fortunately, I also learned a little about W. Edwards Deming at the university. He was not given the credit he deserves, nor did we really study his teachings. I have done this myself. This book is a farce and a travesty, for example saying if a department saves $100,000 per year per employee, it doesn't have to worry about layoffs or elimination. Really, what if you make carburetors and somebody . . It portrays the current style of management in the western world, which has led us into industrial decline for decades.

Modern Manufacturing The book, besides being an enjoyable read, brings knowledge of high value, easy understanding and aligned with the realities of modern manufacturing . From my understanding the practical application of the knowledge in this book has great power to increase the competitiveness of organizations. Highly recommended for all who in one way or another, work in manufacturing organizations.. "The harry potter of textbooks" according to Bryan. Would not have purchased if I was not required to for a class, but now that I have it, I am glad I did.Its an easy read, but the information inside is very good.
The book systematically leads students through the collection, analysis, and development of information to produce a quality functional plant layout for a lean manufacturing environment. All aspects of facility design, from receiving to shipping, are covered. Also, rather than including brief case-in-point examples at the end of each chapter, a single, detailed case study is provided that better exposes students to the multiple considerations that need to be taken into account when improving efficiency in a real manufacturing facility. Access to Layout-iQ workspace planning software is included for purchasers of the book. In the fifth edition of this successful book, previously published by Prentice Hall, numerous updates and corrections have been made. The book takes a practical, hands-on, project-oriented approach to exploring the techniques and procedures for developing an efficient facility layout. Theoretical concepts are clearly explained and then rapidly applied to a practical setting through a detailed case study at the end of the volume. The textbook has enjoyed substantial international adoptions and has been translated into Spanish and Chinese. It also introduces state-of-the-art tools including computer simulation. This replaces the 4th Edition by Prentice Hall (ISBN# 978-0135001059).. Designed for junior- and senior-level
