Opis

Global manufacturing has been altered by the emergence of a new approach to production which differs radically from the principles of mass production. This approach has been characterized by successful manufacturers in Asia and the West who have engaged in a continuous process to improve quality, labour productivity and cost performance. The authors of the book argue that many of the methods used by these new firms are equally suitable for manufacturers in developing countries and the transition economies of east and central Europe.
