Manufacturing excellence, world-class stature, being the best of the best-the ability to provide high quality, competitively priced products and services in a global marketplace-is a major hurdle confronting manufacturers. The challenges they face are well known: the need to improve product quality, drastically shorten product development cycles, increase productivity growth, stimulate product and process innovation, and respond quickly to changing customer demands.
Our perception of the manufacturing process has centered on the materials, machines, labor, and equipment used to make products-the physical processes of production-and, to some extent, the data and information flows among the computers & controls for these processes. Accordingly, institutional examination of manufacturing has evolved into a collection of narrow disciplines that customarily ignore the integrated nature of the manufacturing system.
Some of the fundamentals of manufacturing excellence may be viewed as simply expressing common sense or good practice, and while they are not quantitative in the usual sense, it seems very clear that manufacturers considered world-class have generally recognized and are applying these practices and that these practices have contributed critically to their success.
