Winner of a Shingo Prize for Excellence in Manufacturing Research, this critically acclaimed text continues to reintroduce the U.S. to TWI. It demonstrates efficient ways to instruct employees on how to perform jobs safely and conscientiously; looks at ways to produce more quality products in less time through the handling of workforce, machines, and materials; and shows how to improve performance with employee relations that preemptively prevent problems. The authors include exercises that can be applied to readers' own worksites. A companion CD provides forms needed to complete the exercises and implementation case studies.
