An unending focus on cost
reduction is what makes businesses survive and thrive in good times and
bad. Our newest book, Cost
Reduction and Optimization for Manufacturing and Industrial Companies,
was published in January 2009 by Scrivener Publishing and Wiley.
This is a hands-on, no baloney, rapid road map approach for any
organization interested in identifying and acting on cost reduction
opportunities. The book focuses on design, process, supplier, and
overhead areas. In addition to providing roadmaps in each
area, this book identifies the risks (and actions to control risk) for
each recommendation. As an added feature, Excel templates for the
quantitative assessment techniques included with this book can be
downloaded here. (If you
need help with this template, just give us a call at 909 204 9984.)

One of our key training areas (and the one we built
the business on) is failure analysis. We know what it's like when
recurring failures add cost to the operation and you have to find the right fix
quickly. We also know what it's like when a failure shuts the
operation down or prevents clients from using your product.
ASM International published our latest work, Systems
Failure Analysis, in December 2009, and you can order a copy
here. This is a great book based on actual experience in manufacturing
environments, with a focus on finding and fixing root causes of complex systems
failures. Our Failure Analysis
and Root Cause Analysis training programs
use the approaches and technologies described in Systems
Failure Analysis because they work, as many
satisfied clients will attest.

Quality Management for the Technology Sector
focuses on
implementing quality management techniques with proven track records.
This 1-day seminar focuses on quality
measurement, root cause corrective action techniques (including FMEA, FTA, and
SFA), defining
customer expectations (including QFD),
using statistical techniques (including SPC and DOE), supplier
teaming, and the latest quality standards (including ISO 9001:2000).
The program is based on Quality Management for the Technology Sector
(Butterworth-Heinemann, 2002), our hands-on, practical guide to implementing
effective quality management tools.
I would highly recommend this book not just to
quality assurance professionals, but to professionals in all disciplines. -
John W. Gozza, Quality Assurance Manager, Composite
Structures LLC
