| 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. | |||
