Job Shop Leaders: Small Wins From a Factory Life

This book delves into the unique challenges faced by job shops and offers valuable factory management tips. Inside, you'll discover a blend of stories and practical advice specifically tailored for job shop leaders. It’s not merely theoretical; it reflects my journey through factory management, where I encountered both losses and successes that propelled my career forward. Additionally, I explored Lean and Six Sigma methodologies in my quest to tackle these pressing job shop challenges.

Job shops can encompass a variety of business types, including factories, distributors, and government offices, all of which can be categorized as job shops. These environments are characterized by fluctuating work volumes and tasks, where even custom design businesses produce unique pieces daily. As a job shop leader, I encountered seven significant job shop challenges that I struggled to find effective solutions for. In our discussion, we address these job shop challenges by focusing on factory management tips related to controlling lead times, eliminating knack points, improving Return on Invested Capital (ROIC), solving dynamic capacity issues, achieving full kit production, managing order unevenness (Mura), and implementing Minimum Viable Process (MVP) strategies, all while considering Lean and Six Sigma methodologies.

"If you work in high volume mass production this probably isn't written for you. If you've never lost a night's sleep trying to understand how your business works, put this down. If you like big words and highly technical descriptions I’m not your guy."
