F71: Revealing and Solving the Invisible Problem that Plagues All Job Shops

This presentation will reveal and solve an invisible problem that plagues all job shops. It typically manifests itself as: long lead times, scheduling turmoil, inability to ship on time, inability to control costs, and too much rework. Although these are typically regarded as problems, they are actually symptoms of this invisible problem. The solution requires a paradigm shift and a different way of organizing and managing these types of businesses. A successful transition to this new paradigm will provide management with greater control, greater accountability, and substantial financial results.
