"The true cost of manufacturing downtime" is the final piece to the lean manufacturing puzzle and a great cost justification tool for maintenance managers to general managers. This eBook focus is primarily on downtime tracking using Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and a root cause methodology.
"Guide to process mapping production cost. Primarily explorers manufacturing cost metrics in an exhaustive effort to create awareness of the greatest cost savings opportunities in facilities today. Covers over nineteen cost centers with real dollar amounts and examples."
