W. Edwards Deming‘s central premise was that improvements in product quality would increase productivity, improve competitive position, and help ensure long-term survival. Point 12 of his landmark 14 Points for Management says that management‘s job is to remove the barriers that keep people from taking pride in their work. That‘s exactly what this book is about.Shedding new light on Deming‘s 14 Points, Removing the Barriers to Efficient Manufacturing: Real-World Applications of Lean Productivity outlines time-tested organizational structures and methods to help you reduce variability and deliver high-quality products consistently.
