This book breaks it all down. Time management, budgeting, dealing with staff and technical issues. For those in the field already, its a refresher and a confirmation of what you're doing. For those new to the field, it can serve as an operations manual for guidance. Appendix B that describes the job description is invaluable.

Customer Reviews:
Improve your plant!.......2007-01-10
Improving the manufacturing plant can goes nowhere if you go blind. Seiichi Nakajima gave that vision by his OEE's ideas. And this book..., this book can make that vision better and better...
A very simple tool that saves manufacturers thousands........2002-05-31
If you want to make someone's day, (and they are in maintenance or production:>), give them a copy of Mr. Hansen's book on OEE. He shows us how to capitalize on a very simple formula to save thousands by investing a little time and the knowledge in his book. It surprising how many do not know about OEE, so don't assume they do.
The overall performance of a single piece of equipment, or even an entire factory, will always be governed by the cumulative impact of the three OEE factors: Availability , Performance Rate, and Quality Reject Rate.
Availability X Performance X Quality= OEE
With the knowledge and utilization of the OEE calculation, it is common to realize greater than 40% increase in your bottom line. If you're making a profit now, just think of the opportunity. More importantly, OEE is the glue that sustains other initiatives by enabling all to clearly see where to focus, and the results of those focused efforts. The exciting point is that OEE is a simple method of measuring, you can start utilizing it Today!
My challenge to the industry is to Stop OEE Ignorance, and spread the word about this valuable tool. So I recommend you buy Mr. Hansen's book today.
The Hidden Factory Unlocked.......2002-04-24
As a practitioner of Equipment Reliability and the person responsible for Equipment Operational Effectiveness, I found Mr. Hansens' views of OEE extremely accurate and useful. His interpretations and the posturing of OEE with factory output demonstrates the importance of reliability to the corporate bottom line. Many companies continuously ignore the importance of unlocking the hidden factory and don't realize the waste generated by ignoring OEE concepts. Mr. Hansen, in 274 pages, gives a complete and compact version that any corporate manager, by being proactive and a visionary, can utilize to change costs into profits. Reliability and OEE technologies appear to be fairly new to much of the industrial world. Mr. Hansen decribes in his book a cultural change, that if followed,will help produce a payback welcomed by any corporate institution. His writing is easy to understand by both new and old Reliability/OEE practitioners. He has written in an orderly fashion with each chapter building on, and complementing the previous. The book describes in a step by step fashion the concept of true OEE, which when practiced will unlock the hidden factory. As Mr. Hansen points out; "If you are not supporting Reliability, then you are supporting failures".

Customer Reviews:
Interesting but low level.......2002-12-18
The book is interesting, but if you are looking for a good book about the warehousing I'd recommend another one. It is the right book if you don't know anything of warehouses and facilities.
This book spends a lot of pages in the Appendix (50%).
Futhermore the regulations are USA ones, so if you don't live in the USA you don't need to know them.
Order this item if you are a novice and order another if you are a logistics executive.
Great for the novice.......2001-09-11
Great for the novice

The most important feature of the book are the forms, plus you can grab them out of the Plastic Comb an use them right away. The author gives an overview of the warehouse operations and how to handle them for excellence. With this book I took the Inventory Record Accuracy from 20% to 95% in four months, a must for those new to the warehouse operations and standards.

Customer Reviews:
Metrics Ratios.......2007-02-10
This book is a truly useful product. Wireman gives a great overview of each of the maintenance management programs/philosophies and compares each by its outcomes. There are many, many examples of metric ratios with very clear explanations of what the metric is actually measuring and also what some of the pitfalls are if the data used in the metric is not accurate. I recommend this book as a useful library item for proposal writers (particularly in the government contracting arena) and for maintenance engineers looking to improve performance using KPI's.
A good starting point.......2000-04-29
This book is primarily a "directory" on how to measure and then improve equipment maintenance management. Mr Wireman describes the basic methods of maintenance with chapters on the pros and cons of preventative maintenance, RCM, TPM and computerised maintenance managing software. It then describes the performance measures that can be used to effectively manage maintenance. This is a very good book for engineers wanting to improve the maintenance function, but if you are after a handbook on how to set up a PM, RCM or TPM program then this isn't the book you want.
Average customer rating:
- Good reading for TPM implementation

Book Description
This is the first book to completely cover the whole body of knowledge of Six Sigma and Design for Six Sigma with Simulation Methods as outlined by the American Society for Quality. Both simulation and contemporary Six Sigma methods are explained in detail with practical examples that help understanding of the key features of the design methods. The systems approach to designing products and services as well as problem solving is integrated into the methods discussed.
Customer Reviews:
Handy Reference.......2006-12-08
In reading the book I find the outline to be well organized on tasked subject. The authors are considered experts in the field of Six Sigma and particularly respected in the emergent area of DFSS. The authors have suggested a treatment based upon a good foundation on the subject and followed by a very complete introduction of Six Sigma tools. Subsequent to the tools presentation, there are several applications to the service (transactional) and manufacturing industries that include case studies.
I believe this book to be important for two reasons. First of all, this will be a very comprehensive presentation of Six Sigma methodologies (DMAIC and DFSS) as suited to simulation applications in a very integrated format. In addition, this book is a model of Six Sigma application for broad and important transactional-based process industrial arenas, service and manufacturing. The application of simulation-based Six Sigma and DFSS in several industries is a very important area for new product and service development and will significantly benefit from the integrated application of Six Sigma methodologies.
The manufacturing and service industries will both benefit from this manuscript, in particular companies that are relatively new in their implementation for Six Sigma and who just discovering the value of prevention in new product development (DFSS opportunity). Dr. Basem Haik is one of a very few practicing professional that possesses expertise in the area of `concept optimization' and the only one I know of that has authored books that treat these development methodologies in a truly integrated fashion.
I highly recommend that this book for any practioner in the area of Lean Six Sigma and Design for Six Sigma.
