5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent One-Stop Reading of Best Mfg .Concepts/Practices, February 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Attaining Manufacturing Excellence (Hardcover)

Robert Hall has scored a perfect 10 in terms of capturing JIT, TQM, Continuous Improvement, ERP all within the confines of one book. His style of writing is really absorbing. I was surprised to find that no one had written a review of this book. This book, if I recollect correctly, is a recommended reading for APICS's CRIM candidates. If you want to get a taste of all the proven manufacturing concepts and practices, then this book serves as a one-stop reading.

What was then called Just-in-Time is now Lean. Lots of the lingo has changed, but many of the core concepts have remained. Doc Hall's book captures some of the more subtle points that are missed today. This is a book that every lean leader should have read at some point. If you haven't, now's the time.
