Learn the industrial renaissance of the past two decades is showing its age. A half-century analysis of industrial competitiveness, involving over 500 manufacturers globally, is revealing. Based on the prime indicator of "leanness" -inventory turnover-the study shows that some of the world's most admired manufacturers have ceased to improve. Many actually have lost ground in recent years. Contributing factors include complacency; stock-hyping deals that divert attention; new managers lacking trial-by-fire experience; legacies of bad equipment, complex systems, and mind-numbing job designs; and spotty implementations. Dr. Schonberger will suggest ways to counter each of these obstacles to staying on the world-class/lean management journey.

Attendee benefits:
  • Arm attendees with evidence and likely causes of hidden competitive weaknesses
    (even amid thriving "lean," six-sigma, and e-business efforts).
  • Provide direct-effect performance metrics that won't allow competitive weaknesses to hide.
  • Direct attendees to a system of enterprise-wide improvement, benchmarked in several hundred global manufacturers. The system elevates competitive standards that companies must face up to in a global economy.
