Tiivistelmä:In the quest to reduce waste on production lines, managers often find that the harder they work at improving their manufacturing processes, the more elusive the benefits become. The authors' study of data provided by Belgian manufacturer N.V. Bekaert S.A, the world's largest independent producer of steel wire, showed that only a quarter of process improvement projects delivered factorywide benefits. However, it's possible to design projects that are more likely to improve the plant's bottom line. The key issue is to make sure the projects deliver both conceptual and operational learning.
