World class manufacturing is a process driven approach where various techniques and philosophy are used in one combination or other.
Some of the techniques are as follows:
- Make to order
- Streamlined Flow
- Smaller lot sizes
- Collection of parts
- Doing it right first time
- Cellular or group manufacturing
- Total preventive maintenance
- Quick replacement
- Zero Defects
- Just in Time
- Increased consistency
- Higher employee involvement
- Cross Functional Teams
- Multi-Skilled employees
