My second book on QRM is hot off the press!

This is your best introduction to QRM -- it covers the four core principles, has the latest developments, and at the same time it is a quick read.

Here is what people are saying about

It's About Time

The Competitive Advantage of Quick Response Manufacturing

In the decade since the publication of Rajan Suri’s landmark first book on Quick Response Manufacturing, the innovative principles of QRM have been proven out via impressive results at many companies, big and small, in a variety of industries. While the key principles of QRM remain unchanged, after a decade of teaching QRM workshops to senior executives Suri has developed a concise yet convincing way of presenting QRM strategy using four core concepts.

The text contains new case studies on QRM implementation. The book also shows how factories in advanced nations can use QRM strategy to compete with manufacturers in low-wage countries. An additional chapter provides pointers for implementation including accounting strategies, cost-justification approaches, and a stepwise process for implementation. Also included is a bonus CD with five appendices that provide a number of practical details to assist in the success of your QRM implementation.

I have published numerous other articles on QRM. Please contact me for more information.

My speciaIty is providing training services to initiate and then support QRM implementations:

• I am particularly sought after to conduct training sessions to convince Senior Executives and Managers of the merits of QRM, and why their company should pursue it for competitive advantage.
• I also help to get employee buy-in through training sessions. I have conducted training for office staff in all functional areas, shop floor workers, and union leaders, to get them to support the QRM implementation.

Typically I help you start on the QRM journey and support you with training for management and employees for both initial buy-in as well as sustaining the momentum.

To assist you with specific implementation details, I work with a number of organizations and individuals who are experts on QRM.

One key organization that supports QRM implementation is the Center for QRM at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The Center provides a host of resources and information on QRM (click here for more info...)

I also cooperate with a number of consulting organizations around the world.

Based on your needs I can assist you in choosing the right organization to help you move forward with QRM. Please contact me with your questions and I will be happy to advise you.
