Lean Manufacturing
is the Key to Continuous Improvement
New
monograph available from Tompkins Associates
Raleigh,
NC, May 9, 2001—Today's world is no longer company
vs. company; it is supply chain vs. supply chain, and a great
supply chain begins with a great manufacturing operation.
Lean Manufacturing, the new monograph by Tompkins Associates,
gives you the tools to take traditional manufacturing operations
into a new era of competitive advantage.
The concept
of Lean Manufacturing is not new. Developed by a major Japanese
auto manufacturer in the 1940s, lean concepts are being reborn
in today's marketplace. The lean concept refers to a collection
of tools used to promote long-term profitability, growth and
"doing more with less." And it is a process that must be carried
out not only on the plant floor, but throughout the organization.
Lean
Manufacturing from Tompkins Associates gives you the steps
to continuously improve operations. Learn how to re-examine
and restructure your manufacturing operations for improved
performance. Discover how to re-think your manufacturing operations
and reduce costs. Learn how to enable your work force and
give them the tools they need to revolutionize your manufacturing
operations.
"Lean
Manufacturing companies—those that begin following the
path of Lean and continuous improvement for the long haul—are
the companies that will ultimately be the most successful
and the most nimble," says Dr. James A. Tompkins, president
and founder of Tompkins Associates.
As the
Total Operations leader, Tompkins Associates recognizes the
need for manufacturing companies to be on the leading edge.
Following on the heels of the Lean Manufacturing monograph
release is Dr. Tompkins' forthcoming book, Future Capable
Company: What Manufacturing Leaders Need to Do Today to Succeed
Tomorrow. This book will provide manufacturers with the
tools they need for operational excellence.
