[Sam Motes · Rating 3 out of 5]

World Class Marketing (WCM) pushes the author's view of how manufacturing should be ran via TQC and JIT influences to run lean and squeeze out access WIP and shrink batch sizes. The book gives some good historical input on topics such as cycle counts and how plant layout flows evolved over the years. Also touched on Goldratt's TOC philosophy but it was not the focus of the book
