Editorial Reviews

Review
"The principles of cycle time management are crucial to North American companies. Cycle time allows such concepts as JIT, TQM, and SPC to be pulled together and flow in unison through all aspects of an organization. This book deals with these relationships in a logical and progressive manner that just plain makes good business sense."
Malcolm Gissing, Former President and CEO, Hewlett-Packard Canada, June 2004

"We were looking for the right solution to bring together all the various improvement efforts we have put into motion over the past several years. Cycle time rang true. Chapter after chapter, this book gives the best practical hands-on information for implementing 'power change' in your culture and practices."
William D. Grote, President, Grote Industries, Inc., June 2004

Product Description
As much as 90 percent of the operational activities in a traditional plant is often nonessential or pure waste. Cycle Time Management provides an exact time-based methodology for eliminating mostif not allof this waste within 24 to 30 months. It details the use of a cohesive management strategy that integrates just in-time (JIT) production, computer integrated manufacturing (CIM), and total quality control (TQC). Written by the developers of Cycle Time Management (CTM), this text explains how to measure productivity in terms of time, instead of revenue or people. It offers a fully detailed process for CTM implementation augmented by case studies, and illustrations.
