It's about time

Schonberger opened the door to Japanese manufacturing techniques almost twenty years ago. Now, he looks at the primary indicator of mfg. performance - inventories - and proves how our early Just-in-time and Lean improvements gave way to bad practices and inventory growth. Using his data base of several hundred companies, he shows which ones fell down, which ones gained ground, and what needs fixing. An important piece for a confused and painful time in industry.
