The World-class products are characterized by (i) excellent quality, (ii) timeliness, (iii) flexibility, (iv) superior communication, (v) the attitude of continuous improvement, (vi) a habit of collaboration and (vii) trust.
Acquiring world-class status in any field demands a meticulous, tireless and sustained commitment to scaling new peaks of performance. It means doing better than the best and being a class apart. In essence, being world class is a journey rather than a destination.
This book titled "World-class Manufacturing" stresses the importance of becoming world class in manufacturing, for a firm to be competitive in the global market. Running through twelve chapters, the book focuses on manufacturing in the initial chapters. Further it deals with topics such as continuous improvement, elements of lean production, just-in-time systems, bench marking, tools for process improvement, world-class quality management, total productive maintenance, world-class supply management and Toyota Production System.
An understanding of the above topics dealt in the book, would certainly help the readers to appreciate the need for a firm to become "world-class" and to strive for improvement of the organizations for which they work, to the "world-class" status.ISBN - 9789350978856
