An unending focus on cost reduction is what makes businesses survive and thrive in good times and bad. Our newest book, Cost Reduction and Optimization for Manufacturing and Industrial Companies, was published in January 2009 by Scrivener Publishing and Wiley. This is a hands-on, no baloney, rapid road map approach for any organization interested in identifying and acting on cost reduction opportunities. The book focuses on design, process, supplier, and overhead areas. In addition to providing roadmaps in each area, this book identifies the risks (and actions to control risk) for each recommendation. As an added feature, Excel templates for the quantitative assessment techniques included with this book can be downloadedhere. Our cost reduction training program is based on the concepts included in this book. |

One of our key training areas (and the one we built the business on) is failure analysis. We know what it's like when recurring failures add cost to the operation and you have to find the right fix quickly. We also know what it's like when a failure shuts the operation down or prevents clients from using your product.
ASM International published our latest work, Systems Failure Analysis, in December 2009, and you can order a copy here. This is a great book based on actual experience in manufacturing environments, with a focus on finding and fixing root causes of complex systems failures. Our Root Cause Failure Analysis training program uses the approaches and technologies described in Systems Failure Analysis because they work, as many satisfied clients will attest. |

| Tired of quality management buzzwords that are long on promise but short on results? Take a look at our Quality Management for the Technology Sector workshop. | |
|
Quality Management for the Technology Sector focuses on implementing quality management techniques with proven track records. This 1-day seminar focuses on quality measurement, root cause corrective action techniques (including FMEA, FTA, and SFA), defining customer expectations (including QFD), using statistical techniques (including SPC and DOE), supplier teaming, and the latest quality standards (including ISO 9001:2000).The program is based on Quality Management for the Technology Sector (Butterworth-Heinemann, 2002), our hands-on, practical guide to implementing effective quality management tools. I would highly recommend this book not just to quality assurance professionals, but to professionals in all disciplines. John W. Gozza, Quality Assurance Manager, Composite Structures LLC |

The book addresses the two major areas of Quality, people management and technical expertise. This is refreshing because it treats these topics openly and honestly, noting the pitfalls of specific Quality initiatives as well as the benefits. Douglas Caldwell, Management Visibility, The Boeing Company The book provides a great treatment of current continuous improvement tools and technologies. The material is direct,to the point and is easy to read. Although many of the concepts are quantitative, examples and case studies makes the material easy to follow. Jerry Ricketts, Vice President, Operations, OEA Aerospace The above training can be customized to meet your requirements. Please call us at 909 204 9984 or contact us via email. | |
