| Resumo: | In many U.S. corporations, whizzes from the corporate office frequently sweep through and try to sell manufacturing managers the latest "panacea"-some magical solution supposedly designed to transform the factory into a smoothly operating machine that will put the Japanese or the Koreans out of business. Manufacturing managers have little alternative but to try whatever top management proposes, and to disregard whether such strategies are appropriate for their plant. Not surprisingly, these techniques are never miracle cures. Sometimes they help, but sometimes they make things worse. Even more frustrating is the way they are tossed haphazardly down to the factories from the corporate suite-one after the other, with no overall plan for manufacturing in mind. Manufacturing-management expert John Rydz shows how to reverse this unsuccessful and unproductive trend. He presents experienced and workable insights into how effective management styles-from the shop floor to the executive suite-can reinstate manufacturing as the fundamental component of corporate success.
