Some good summary information

The book covers most facets of modern day manufacturing, from change to cost containment, maintenance strategy, and human capital. A significant portion delves into the impact of the "new economy" and in particular how B2B, B2C, and "B2B2B2B2C" influence manufacturing operations. Of particular note are the "12 requirements of success for the future capable company," a discussion of the synthesis between lean, agile, and cellular manufacturing, the value of simplicity, the "25 requirements for effective maintenance leadership," and analysis of Gallup's "Q12" method for retaining human capital.
