Its goal is to help American manufacturing more effectively go about the task of making Lean a viable process. The significance of the work is that, if followed, it could change the entire course of how Lean Manufacturing is implemented in the United States and help manufacturing, in general, to become more competitive on a world wide scale. The first section addresses the typical difficulties that manufacturing operations in the United States have with the implementation of Lean Manufacturing - pointing to three basic issues which if addressed and resolved, would serve to move the process forward in a much more rapid and effective manner. The second section focuses on how to fully resolve the issues noted and details four levels of Lean Implementation and how they can be measured, in terms of progress. The third section deals with the more advanced aspects of Lean Manufacturing, including such things as how to engage administrative and supporting functions in the process (Accounting, Materials, Sales and Marketing, etc.); how and why to perform a Core Process Analysis (in order to decide which processes should be considered for outsourcing); how to incorporate 'Owner-Operators' in the process; and, the importance of 18 month rolling implementation plan and more. It is sure to be found useful by manufacturing executives and managers at the factory level, as well as students in a Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering curriculum. This title provides readers with a clear path to inserting Lean in a manufacturing operation and a step by step approach to getting there. It includes numerous charts, graphs and window diagrams associated with the 'how to' - along with specific training and schedules. It offers some unique insight into where Toyota placed a very important focus verses what is typically understood and/or accepted as the general path of implementation it took. It contains a list of important 'Key Reflections' at the end of each chapter.

Reliability is dependent upon shared understanding and beliefs. Managers at all levels must understand how their decisions and directions often impact adversely the ability of their organization to achieve and perpetuate Reliability...thereby undermining realization of broad business objectives. This book identifies and explores fifteen cultural obstacles commonly encountered by most organizations in their pursuit of World-Class Reliability. The intent is to provide senior management with a wake-up call. They must address the identified obstacles the people they have charged with pursuit of reliability (middle managers, engineers and functional specialists) can be successful. Otherwise, senior management is its' own worst enemy. It is a must-read for Senior Managers at all levels (Corporate to Plant and within Plant at Departmental levels). It examines the larger issues (culture, leadership, commitment, and consistency) that functionaries cannot overcome without strong senior management involvement. It focuses on the managerial leadership, cultural change, organization-wide commitment, and perseverance required to transform the operational environment from reactive to proactive. It uses illustrations to visually convey Principles and Concepts of Maintenance/Reliability Excellence. It includes appendices that provide generic tools and plans used to drive the essential change.

Material removal operations are among the most expensive; in the U.S. alone, more than $100 billion were spent on machining in 1999. These high costs put tremendous economic pressures on production managers and engineers as they struggle to find ways to increase productivity.Machining recommendations provided in this book cover turning since it allows removing more material per unit of time and consuming more power at the roughing operations than end milling, boring or drilling. Machining recommendations relate to cutting speeds, feed rates, and depth of cuts. Such recommendations depend on the workpiece material properties and the cutting tool material. Workpiece materials described in this book are the most commonly used grades of carbon, alloy, stainless, tool, and maraging steels. Cutting tool materials are cemented carbides, cermets, and ceramics.Describes hardness, tensile strength, and machinability of steels-the major mechanical properties. These properties are taken into consideration when selecting machining parameters.Features machining recommendations for turning that provide the cutting speed values based on Brinell hardness numbers, the depth of cut, and feed rate in relationships with the type of steel. Summarizes numerous calculations in five appendices.

In this book Anthony Kelly explains the unique procedure he’s developed for auditing the management of the maintenance of both productive plant and infrastructures: for example, of petrochemical processing installations and of vehicle fleets. Case studies demonstrate the application of this procedure to comprehensive audits of several weeks duration, to ‘fingerprint’ audits taking perhaps a day or so, and to benchmarking exercises. Industrial managers absorbing the ideas and procedures presented in this book will be better able to audit for themselves their own maintenance departments, or to specify such audits when they are to be undertaken by external consultants. Such investigations will highlight existing problems and identify their causes – a necessary process before embarking on major organizational or system change.   Extensive use of case studiesContains a structured questionnaire of over 1,000 questions that is based on the ideas and concepts of business centered maintenance.Provides a template for the auditing or maintenance management departments through the aide memoir.Part 1: Business Centered Maintenance and its Application to Maintenance Auditing Business Centered Maintenance Auditing Methodology Auditing Human Factors in Maintenance Management Auditing Maintenance Departments Benchmarking, Benchmarks and Performance Indices Part 2: Examples of Full, Snapshot and Fingerprint Audits The Full Audit The Snapshot Audit and Re-Audit Fingerprint Audit Case Study 1 - Restructuring a Maintenance Organization Case Study 2 - Setting-up a Company-Contract AlliancePart 3: Case Studies of the Application of the Auditing Procedure to a Variety of IndustriesCase Study 3 - Reviewing Maintenance Strategy Case Studies 4 and 5 - Maintaining a Fleet Case Studies 6-9 - Maintenance in the Generation, Transmission and Distribution of Electricity Appendix 1: Audit Aide-memoir Appendix 2: Information Required prior to the Site Visit Appendix 3: Maintenance Terminology Appendix 4: Review Questions 1 - Chapters 1-12 Appendix 5: Review Questions 2 - Model Answers Index
