Abstract
A manufacturing facility set out to tackle serious production problems and workforce instability. With each level of improvement came an even deeper understanding of other problems and opportunities. Now, five years later, a new operating philosophy, organizational structure, flow of processes, and set of tools enable the hourly associates to run the plant and managers to focus on more strategic issues—and a once‐troubled business is now healthy and competitive. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
